My problem is getting them from seed to maturity. I've had germination and even set some out in the summer. They seem slow-growing to me. Meconopsis loves our mild, moist summers. I have one that was purchased as a plant at least five years ago, and it was a mature plant then. Year before last, I had 22 blooms on it. I think rutholive is right about the hot summers, and placement could be critical, as well as soil amendment.
