Pam, it is the trickier blue-flowered meconopsis that needs acid soil (for
sure) and which should not flower in its first year. Although I sowed M.
cambrica in an acid bed, it is certainly self-seeding and spreading
elsewhere in my neutral clay. It can be allowed to flower at will, unlike
its relative.

Sorry, I replied too quickly without reading the question properly.
I have m. cambrica, the yellow Welsh poppy growing in my garden
like a weed. They seed themselves everywhere.
Try again, Jean in BC.

Hi Pam I will - and am hoping they will seed everywhere since I have mostly
shade in my garden and dream of these lovely yellow blooms among the blue
forget-me-nots . But I am reminded of the saying - be careful what you wish
for. Thanks to everyone for their help. Jean in BC


This is one of my husband's favourite plants. He reckons it's rare for
there to be a day in which one of them isn't blooming somewhere in the
garden.
