(Himalayan blue poppy) I brought one back from Alaska, where they grow beautifully. It bloomed for on heavenly summer, then died. I think it is just too dry & hot here for it, even though I watered it frequently. You in the PNW should be able to grow it. The color is phenomenal (sp?) and well worth whatever it takes to grow it.

Try sowing- its easy! Where I live they are not a weed but almost..shady cool place -just a little morning sun if you live in a hot area
Good luck

I recently ordered 3 from Van Bourgondien. I received them a few days ago, they came in 3 inch pots. I am going to replant them to a gallon pots, plant them in the pot in a sunny part of my garden and then move them in pot to a shady place when it gets really hot and humid in mid summer.

Here is a link that might be useful: Link to Van Bourgondien Himalayan 'Blue Poppy'
