Podophyllum versipelle | Chinese Mayapple

$0.00

DESCRIPTION
Podophyllum versipelle is a woodland perennial from central and western China valued for rounded, peltate green leaves that form a calm, architectural canopy through the growing season. In mid to late spring, nodding bowl shaped flowers in burgundy to dark red are carried beneath the foliage, lending quiet color within shaded plantings and sheltered garden settings.

Rhizomatous stems extend slowly to create measured colonies, while each emerging leaf unfurls with a smooth surface and gently lobed outline. Native mountain forest habitats contribute to a seasonal rhythm of spring emergence, summer fullness, and autumn dormancy before renewed growth returns with warming days of the following season.
