    Hi aym

    it is a Lingholm just opening so I would think it will go more blue as it ages

    Odd colour for Lingholm, usually start dark, and get lighter.

    Re: rock dust. If it is stopping slugs, it must be because the particles have sharp edges. If this is true, then surely it cannot be improving the mineral content of the soil, for which it needs to dissolve.

    Has anyone grown Meconopsis punicea?

    It is a rare, red, and very beautiful species.

    Seed is scarce, and I have never been able to source fresh seed, which is supposed to be essential for growth.
