This is an amazing herbaceous perennial poppy.. It is very hardy indeed, possibly because it is a native of the Himalayas!It takes a while to get going but when it does, the flowers are awesome. It blooms in mid to late April and May which are sort of in between times i.e. in between the first spring flush and the summer bonanza. This makes it very useful.
This plant will only flower well in shady conditions in fertile and moist soil.
It can be propagated by its seed, although the new plants will take 2-3 seasons to flower. You can split mature clumps in very early spring and late autumn flowers may a take one to two seasons but they're worth the wait.
