Plume poppy is a genus of herbaceous perennial plants with relatively low-maintenance needs, thriving in moderate light conditions, and well-drained soil. Watering should be regular but in moderation to avoid waterlogging. Temperature should ideally stay between 15 to 25 degrees Celsius. Pests like aphids and caterpillars, as well as powdery mildew disease, are common challenges. Seasonally, plume poppy requires pruning in the spring, tends to bloom in summer, and may display color changes in autumn, while it should be mulched before winter to protect the root system.
