Mayapple

Plant in moist, rich, slightly acidic soil in partial to full shade; this woodland native spreads by horizontal rhizomes to form dramatic colonies of large umbrella-like leaves that carpet the forest floor. The single white flower hidden beneath the paired leaves in spring develops into a yellowish, lemon-scented fruit by midsummer — the only part of the plant that is edible when fully soft and ripe. The roots, leaves, and unripe fruit contain podophyllin, a potent toxin, and should never be consumed. The plant goes dormant and disappears by late summer, so interplant with ferns or other shade perennials to fill the void. Спосіб посадки: Розмноження діленням куща Відстань між рослинами: 18–24 дюймів Висота: 12–18 дюймів
