I have a daughter in Caithness - Northern mainland Scotland. I have trial beds for all my Meconopsis there. Days over 22C are very rare, the air is moister and most days, it is cool. There are long hours of light in Summer. Meconopsis are still very easy to grow there. Finally, I have a daughter in Cumbria - NW England. This used to be a classic place for growing Meconopsis. They still grow well there, but a really hot Summer can still cause serious losses. Some of the most successful Meconopsis are now grown in Norway - even North of the Arctic Circle and, accepting some very talented growers there, it does seem that cool Northern climates are what Meconopsis like best ( away from their Himalayan home ).
