This plant can vary in colour from pink to blue, with our plants being predominantly pink. Few good seeds are ever collected here at low level as it prefers the lofty Himalayan peaks where it sets seeds reliably and romps about happily. One of the rarer thorny species of the genus Meconopsis, it has a small geographical distribution restricted to specific areas of Pakistan and India in the west Himalayas. The species was originally described from specimens collected by Royle in 1833. Sadly, the species is highly valued as a medicinal plant, with the resulting demand for the plant placing pressure on wild populations due to over-collection. ... Learn More

An unusual bristly poppy with gorgeous, floppy, blue, tissue-paper flowers. The epithet "horrid" obviously applies to the spiny looking stems and certainly not to the striking cobalt-blue, ivory-eyed flowers. It often self-seeds in gritty soil and is possibly the only Asiatic meconopsis which is resistant to drought, sometimes dying down to a resting tuber if conditions are too hot for it in its first year! ...
