Macleaya cordata
PLUME POPPY
- Unit price
- / per
One of our favorite backdrop plants, Plume Poppy forms towering spikes of large, blue-green foliage, topped by dainty cream-colored flowers. Stems are strong, never toppling. The plants are popular for flower arranging.
Plants are very versatile, and will grow in sun or shade. They will slowly form large clumps, so do well in large areas or as a background plant.
Type: Hardy perennial
Height: 180-300cm, 70-117"
Location: Sun or shade
Hardiness zones: 3-8
Sow just under the surface of the soil and water in. Leave them at room temperature for 6 weeks. This helps break the phytohormones which inhibit germination. They will not grow yet. Then a cooling period is required. Cover them with plastic and place in a fridge for 80 days. Be sure they stay moist. After the cold stratification period they are then brought back to a cool room (15-18C, 59-68F) for them to germinate. Germination can be erratic, generally 30-90 days after the warming period for most seeds, though some can take longer.
