Macleaya cordata is
a perennial plant that grows 1 to 2 meters tall and has a white,
powdery coating. It is found in sunny wild areas or along roadsides.
The leaves are 10-30 cm long and divided into several lobes, similar
to those of chrysanthemums. Luxurious, curly hairs grow on the back
of the leaves. The stem tips produce large panicles with many white
flowers. These flowers lack petals, and the sepals fall off at the
same time as the flowering. The fruit (capsule) is about 2.5 cm
long. Bloom time: July through August. |
