I bought a collection from Bluestone last spring.
Boy they were small,only three leaves.
Planted them where I wanted them to grow indisturbed because they dont like being messed with.
Two of them didn't thrive, but as it was July when I noticed , I transplanted them to a spot where they could die peacefully or grow as mother nature wished.
The thrivers have gone on to put out more leaves and two of them even put out a bloom.
I was out wintersowing poppy somniferum and some Shirleys in the area where I transplanted the dying OP's and low and behold they have put up tinnney crowns.
Sorry this is so long but, will these bloom next spring? or will it take another year ,if they survive the winter.
