Mayapple

Mayapple (Podophyllum peltatum) is a spring ephemeral plant with white flowers and showy foliage in spring. They prefer moist to average soil in part sun or shade making them well-suited for shaded slopes and banks where they’ll grow no more than 2 feet tall. They should be interplanted with species that fill in the voids left once dormant in summer. Companion plants include Woodland Phlox (Phlox divaricata) and Rosy Sedge (Carex rosea).
