Montgomery describes her parents as "big hippies". This may explain not only her name (Poppy Petal), but also that of her four sisters: Rosie Thorn, Daisy Yellow, Lily Belle, and Marigold Sun. Her brother's name is Jethro Tull, named after the band.

Montgomery has also appeared as Marilyn Monroe in the TV-movie Blonde.
