plant quick find clear
Exquisite when ruffled by a breeze, the exposed silver undersides of plume poppy foliage is a sight to behold. Large heart-shape leaves clothe bold upright stems that develop into extensive stands. Its elegant plumes of fluffy whitish-cream or buff flowers, composed of stamens that soon drop, may reach 1 foot long.
Beware of plume poppy's tendency to take over. Provide moist soil to get it established, but it will tolerate drought once mature. Put it in a spot where the delicate plant won't be exposed to drying, damaging winds.
