Description
A highly sought-after hardy perennial, Meconopsis baileyi 'Hensol Violet' is known for its abundance of poppies. Named after its discovery by Lady Henderson at Hensol House in Scotland, this stunning violet-purple variety offers delicate blooms with hints of red and pink. It provides a beautiful splash of color to any garden, particularly when planted in groups along shady borders or woodland areas. Height: 90cm (36"). Spread: 30cm (12").Growing TipsPlant Meconopsis in peaty compost and grow them on in bright, frost-free environments, avoiding intense, direct sunlight. Once they have matured, acclimate them to outdoor conditions over 7 to 10 days before transplanting them to their final location. Choose a sheltered area with semi-shade or dappled light—ideally, a cool, moist woodland setting—or a moist, shaded border. Meconopsis thrives in rich, moist, neutral to acidic soil that stays damp in summer but doesn’t become waterlogged in winter.
