Poppy - Meconopsis - Cambrica Aurantiaca is the orange form of the yellow “Welsh Poppy”. It has delicate orange petals and will definitely add a pop of color to your garden. The flowers are borne on branched stems and have bright green foliage. This plant may slowly self-seed in the garden, which will end up making attractive drifts, but don’t worry, it will rarely become any problem. The seeds will usually only germinate in the Springtime. It has a blooming season that lasts from late Spring to Fall, grows best in partial shade in moist, well-drained soil, and will grow between 12 – 18 inches tall. These plants enjoy neutral to slightly acidic soils. They grow best in areas with cool, damp Summers. These showy flowers will attract pollinators to your garden such as Butterflies and Bees while being resistant to Deer and Rabbits. They are virtually pest and disease free. They are native to Western Europe and do well in beds and borders in the garden. Another great feature of this plant is that it is low maintenance, which every busy gardener can appreciate!

I urge anyone buying seed to do their homework on germination, I have not raised and cannot raise many of these plants as I am sub-tropics here in St Augustine, Florida. All seed are NOT alike! There are so many different factors in germination and not doing a search is throwing your money away. I want everyone to be successful when growing your flowers from seed it is the most rewarding experience in Gardening and you can do it, if you give the seed what it needs to grow. I always check 3 sites of info to choose how I will go about it. It is not hard to do, if you do it right!
SEED GERMINATION TIP!!!!!!!
ONLY GERMINATE A SMALL PORTION AT A TIME.
DON'T PUT ALL YOUR MONKEYS IN A BARREL.
Good Luck and Happy Planting!!!!
