robsorchids:
I'm very partial to meconopsis!

I tried to grow several species but without success.

I grew them in pots but they just disappeared over time.

they may have died during the summer from partialy drying out.

or I hear that low humidity can kill them?

I even had some success growing hensol violet from seed but they were very difficult to get past the cotyledon stage and died before making true leaves.

I would love to start again with some plants if anyone wants to swap some for galanthus or pleione?

mark smyth:
Rob everyone I know that grows them has them in damp woodland gardens where they never dry out

mark smyth:
Have you thought of making raised beds out of railway sleepers or broken paving like I have done

Maggi Young:
Rob, most meconopsis tend to be big, hungry plants, I doubt that you could grow them happily in a trough in deepest England.

Paul T:
Not in my garden they don't!  They tend to be dead skeletal plants!!  :o
