In October I bought an inexpensive blue poppy (meconopsis?) from Morrisons
supermarket. I stuck the plant in a pot of all-purpose soil and it's now
overwintering in my ever-so-slightly-heated greenhouse.

I understand these plants are difficult to grow. In what way are they
difficult?

Any hints and tips on cultivation, soil requirements, etc., greatly
appreciated.

Thanks.

They require acid soils moisture and cool conditions, in the UK they best
place to grow them is the west coast of Scotland.
