I'm about to send out Meconopsis seeds to those who asked for them back in May. I might have lost some emails so
just to confirm, I have Angela, Iris, Chris Rowe (I need your address) and Jane. Anybody else before I start
packing the seeds?

Hello Rod,
Am I too late for a very small number? I would be quite content if I could
just raise one or two plants. Just in case I am lucky, I am sending you my
address directly.

Hi Rod,

You have obviously been successful growing these, do you have any tips? We
have followed the instructions on the back of the seed packet to the letter,
two years on the trot, and had seedlings, which then die. We have two
Meconopsis (garden centre bought) which are thriving by a pond, but can't
seem to raise them from seed. Can you offer any help?

Try preparing a seed bed around your plant and shake some seed pods onto it - if the growing conditions are
suitable they will self sow quite happily esp M. betonicifolia.
Don't expect too much from bought seeds (except Chiltern's - they prepare theirs and store it properly) Otherwise
fresh seed is best'
(a) They're hardy plants so don't mollycoddle them, they need to be cool and humid and in well drained but reliably
moist slightly acid soil.
(b)The fresh seeds germinate freely on the surface of moist ericaceous compost under clingfilm - outdoors in good
light but not direct sun. After germination remove clingfilm and leave outside. The seedlings are deciduous so they
seem to disappear during the winter but some (only a small proportion) will reappear and can be pricked out and
grown on in the ordinary way, pot on as needed and plant in final positions in late summer.
(c) See (a) above - don't let them anywhere near a greenhouse or propagator - much too hot for them.

Here near the North Wales coast my best plants are in reliably moist well drained slightly acid soil in very light
dappled shade for the hottest part of the day under high Oak canopy - I have to avoid places where the Oak leaves
pile up in the winter.

Not really - it works both ways, my garden has benefited from other
URGler's generosity in the past.
