Macleaya microcarpa Spetchley Ruby – Plume Poppy
![](https://gardenplantsandflowers.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/macleaya-spetchleys-ruby-1.jpg)
Tall plumes of tiny, red flowers in June and July above lobed, grey-green leaves. Unlike other flowering perennials of similar height this handsome plume poppy seldom needs staking. Planted in bold swathes, it’s perfect for a large, sunny, moist but well-drained border, sheltered from cold, drying winds. Supplied in approx 2-3 litre containers.
