		+	====Asexual propagation====
		+	For big perennial species, especially the sterile hybrids, which do not produce viable seeds, propagation by division is the best (or only) way to get more of the same species.
		+
		+	It is best to divide the clumps while they are actively growing, to reduce the amount of stress caused, so during early spring, when the new leaves are beginning to form. The first thing is to find a sizeable clump of the plant and then to carefully lift it and tease it apart into several smaller clumps. It is much better to tease the clumps apart with your hands, or the gentle use of a [[garden fork]] then slicing with a knife or spade.
		+
		+	After completing the division, the plants should be potted up and kept under cover until they have well developed root systems.

 A large proportion of species are monocarpic and as such are notoriously difficult to maintain in cultivation.
 Meconopsis grandis, nicknamed the Blue Poppy (although it is only poppy-like), is the national flower of Bhutan.

+Himalayan varieties have the reputation for being difficult to grow from seed, but when germinating new plants, using fresh seeds will help. On the other hand, the Welsh poppy is sometimes considered a weed, albeit a handsome one, due to its vigorous self-seeding. It comes as a surprise to many that poppies are available in shades of blue. These plants are available in a variety of strong colours, including blue, red, orange, purple, white and yellow depending on species and cultivar.

+Seeds should be stored in an airtight, dry container, in a cool place such as a domestic fridge.

	The species of Meconopsis have recently come into much prominence, mostly as herbaceous perennial subjects for borders and rock-gardens. Heretofore these plants have been known mostly by M. cambrica and M. heterophylla, but within ten or twelve years many attractive species have been introduced from the high elevations in the China-Tibet region. It is probable that the genus will have a great extension of popularity among gardeners. Hybrids already have appeared. Coming from high altitudes, they may be treated as hardy plants. They propagate readily from seed sown directly in the open in spring, or they may be started under glass and transplanted. The annual-biennial species may be carried as seedlings in pots the first summer and planted out in autumn if it is desired to bloom them the second year. They require partial shade. The Chinese and Himalayan species are essentially alpines, and it is probable that they would not withstand the American summers without very special treatment. Their availability here is yet to be determined.		The species of Meconopsis have recently come into much prominence, mostly as herbaceous perennial subjects for borders and rock-gardens.
