Mecanopsis cambrica is the only British representative of this mainly Himalayan branch of the poppies. Mecanopsis cambrica var. aurantiaca is the orange coloured form of this plant with soft apricot coloured crepe paper poppies nodding over lush pale green foliage. Not a plant to place in the herbaceous border, instead one to allow to settle itself in amongst ferns or any informal planting of shade lovers. It is happiest in moist to damp conditions where it will seed about freely. 30cm.
Mecanopsis is one of the few Genera that do all 3 primary colours with aplomb. M. cambrica is bright yellow, M. paniculata is clear blue and M.punicea is as red as they come. All strong clear colours – quite unique.
