 Macleaya Cordata, commonly known as ‘Plume Poppy’, is a herbaceous perennial plant that belongs to the family Papaveraceae. It is native to China, but it is now commonly found in many parts of the world due to its ornamental value and medicinal properties.

The plant can grow up to 2.5 metres in height and has deeply lobed, palmate leaves that can reach up to 30 cm in diameter. The leaves are green, but they can have a bluish-green hue, and they are covered in a fine downy fuzz. The stems of the plant are sturdy and erect, and they are also covered in a layer of fine hairs. In Summer, plume-like blooms emerge from the stem, which are made up of small, pale pink to white flowers.

The plant is hardy and can tolerate a range of soil types and conditions, but it prefers moist, well-drained soil and full sun to partial shade. It can be propagated by division in the Spring or by sowing seeds in the Autumn.

Macleaya Cordata is prized for its ornamental value, and it is often grown in gardens and parks for its attractive foliage and striking blooms.  It is a hardy and attractive plant with both ornamental and medicinal value. Its striking foliage and plume-like blooms make it a popular choice for gardeners, while its medicinal properties make it a valuable resource for traditional medicine.
