I expressed my preference and my plant duly arrived. This is one of Suttons' perennial plant range. There is quite a lot of choice in this range with many bring sold in packs of three. Perennial planting is the backbone of my garden and I wouldn't be without a good selection which is why I was happy to do this trial.
The plant arrived looking a little dishevelled. I forgave this as with mail order this is not uncommon. Plants don't really like being shut in a dark box and transported through our mail system. They do however, generally lack the ability to hold a grudge and perk up pretty quickly.
I decided to pot the plant on and give it some time to recover. A couple of weeks on and it is doing well. I am probably not going to plant it out this year but give it some time to bulk up a bit. I should confess I have tried and failed with Meconopsis before so I'm determined to do better this time.
I am pleased with the plant and I shall report back as to progress.
