It's flower is not showy and doesn't resemble a poppy in any way. You must love interesting foliage to use this plant. I wonder where the nickname 'Plume Poppy' came from?
Well, it is in the poppy family, so its a poppy relative.

The leaves are very poppy like too.

I cannot remember clearly right off what makes a poppy a poppy but the many stamens are one of the characteristics.

Its interesting that the plants are banned in Korea.

Thank you for sharing that report and how it grows in Alaska.
