Good morning GTers! I'm so pleased to see these Himalayan Blue Poppy plants! I bought them last year, planting them in autumn, and they promptly disappeared! Can't wait to see their lovely blue flowers! Have a fabulous Friday everyone! 😀 #foliagefriday #poppy

@jaynehynesburton - Ooh, good luck Jayne! I tried them from seed a few years ago but didn't have much success! Hope you fare better! 😀

@flof1952 - Good morning Pauline! Mine are in pots too as it was the only way to guarantee the right soil conditions! I have four but wasn't expecting them all to survive so may split them when they get bigger! 😀

@jaynehynesburton - Mine are growing in a mixture of ericaceous compost and grit! They like shade and damp free draining soil apparently! So far so good... 😀
