| I saw these recently. Are these easy to grow? |

| no. Well, if you have nice, peaty acidic soil, cool wet summers....or if you can also grow meconopsis, then go ahead, but unfortunately, nomocharis remain an impossible dream for me in sandy alkali dry eastern england. |

| I can grow meconopsis, but I wouldn't say I've grown nomocharis well. I've grown it to blooming, but drainage is critical and my winters are wet for its needs - I'm told it does better with cold dry winter conditions. Still, I would like to have tried more, but my one bulb/plant did not set seed to play with the year it did flower. I do remember instructions when I bought the potted bulb to transplant into the garden with extreme care - they don't like disturbance, not even from nursery pots into the ground. |
