Poppy Meconopsis Paniculata Satin Poppy, shouting it's Chartreuse/yellow color, is described as a tall form of Himalayan poppy. Some refer to this plant as having the most magnificent rosettes and referred to as an enormous “beast” composed of massive felted golden leaves. The flowers bloom into large, slightly nodding and other varieties of this flower can range in colors of pink, red and purple with an occasional white and yellow variety. The plant is monocarpic and requires close attention to be a success. The soil needs to be constantly moist but well drained. The plant cannot tolerate being waterlogged or totally dry and does its best in cool damp, slightly shaded areas. It is also strongly suggested that it is planted in a sheltered area where wind would be limited to prevent the plant from toppling due to its large heavy flower. The plant is commonly used in various types of gardens and borders. It has also been known to be used in folklore medicine, using its roots to formulate a narcotic.

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!!!!
