Any crown of meconopsis betonicifolia that flowers will die. So in its first year, pinch out any flower stems that attempt to form and force the plant to make more crowns. A single crowned plant will not survive if it flowers. Also, although it likes moisture during the growing season, it doesn't like to be too wet when dormant (in its natural habitat it is covered by snow in winter)
