Podophyllum pleianthum 'Snowfall' | Snowfall Chinese Mayapple

$0.00

DESCRIPTION
Podophyllum pleianthum ‘Snowfall’ is a woodland perennial from China bearing broad, duck-foot shaped green leaves that create a layered canopy in shade. In mid to late spring, clear white flowers appear beneath the foliage, their pendent form lending a quiet, luminous presence before summer growth expands gently across the forest floor there.

Rhizomatous stems extend slowly to form measured colonies, and each emerging leaf unfurls with a smooth surface and softly webbed outline. Adapted to cool mountain forests of its native range, the plant follows a seasonal cycle of emergence, flowering, and autumn dormancy before returning with renewed growth in spring again.
