By the nature of a plant nursery, the office is not always manned (we spend our days producing plants, and sending orders). Mornings, early in the week, are often the best time to find us near a telephone. Email is usually the quickest way to get a response.

Meconopsis cambrica

£5.50 (2 or fewer items) £4.95 (3 or more items)

Welsh poppies, should possibly be a true poppy or indeed the only true meconopsis. They will seed around and naturalise in shaded beds and always look refreshingly lovely. Maybe not for the tidiest of gardeners but suited to a more, how shall I say, informal and naturalistic approach! Mainly orange but you may get a yellow or red (Frances Perry).
