|discussion=<p>A garden perennial esteemed for its vegetative features and large, plumelike inflorescence, Macleaya cordata occasionally escapes from cultivation, persisting and reproducing fairly successfully. It might be found almost anywhere in temperate North America east of the Mississippi River at elevations below 1000 m.</p>
