Description Fine Print
 
'Hensol Violet' is the rare lavender purple version of the Himalayan blue poppy, Meconopsis betonicifolia. It will bloom in shades of pale to mid lavender. Plant in humus-rich, well-drained soil in cool, bright shade. Avoid winter wetness. Often listed as either zone 3 or 5 hardy from various sources. However, my mother-in-law, Ramona, who lived in zone 1b Saskatchewan grew and bloomed blue poppies by mulching them with a deep pile of fallen leaves each autumn. Make sure to use this method in zones 1-4.
