Blue poppies

[ieatbees]

i'm after blue poppies - i saw them recently on Tv and would like to know where to get them. I'm after them both for a one off bouquet, but also to plant them in my garden.

I think you probably mean Meconopsis commonly known as Tibetian Poppies . There are many different species the majority of which need acid soil, they are not that easy to grow but seeds are offered by all the major seed houses or you may find plants at a good nursery especially an alpine specialist. I think they would probably be a nightmare for bouquet work the stems drooping very quickly.
