Description
The flowers appear in late May to early June. Between two and four blue, mauve-blue or purple-blue flowers arise from the false whorl. Often there are more flowers in the uppermost leaf axils. The sideways facing flowers are saucer shaped. The overlapping petals are ovate with a slightly undulating margin.
The fruit capsule is ellipsoidal and covered with pale straw-coloured bristles. The style is long with a prominent stigma. This clone is sterile so there are no seeds inside the fruit capsule.
The broad leaves of the emerging foliage have a red-purple pigmentation and are covered with short, straw-coloured hairs. The mature foliage is green. The petioles are long and the leaf margins have many serrate-dentate teeth. They are covered in white-tipped hairs.
Meconopsis 'Huntfield' is a vigorous clone widely available from nurseries.
