Podophyllum delavayi | Chinese Mayapple

$0.00

DESCRIPTION
Podophyllum delavayi is a woodland perennial from southwestern China valued for umbrella like leaves marbled in deep green and bronze with intricate mottling. In mid to late spring, nodding cup shaped flowers in wine red to purple tones appear beneath the foliage, creating a jewel toned presence and slowly expanding by rhizomes.

Each leaf unfurls with a leathery surface and softly scalloped outline, lending texture through the growing season before fading in autumn as the plant enters winter dormancy. Its origins in cool mountain forests contribute to a preference for sheltered, shaded settings.
