Like wonderful flying saucers, the large umbrella shaped leaves of this delightful Mayapple open chartreuse with dramatic chocolate-brown spotting, as the leaves mature the green color of the foliage deepens and the spots become a lighter cinnamon color. Unusual marron flowers are actually quite showy once you look for then under their parasols! The flowers give way to interesting fleshy green fruits . PSh/M/GDr (not dry) PP17361 PVR

Podophyllum 'Spotty Dotty' is a spectacular hybrid of several Asian mayapples boasting large, vigorous, lobed umbrella-shaped leaves that emerge muted chartreuse green with dramatic chocolate-brown spotting throughout the spring. By summer the leaves are green with lightly spotted areas. Huge garnet-coloured flowers are found under the leaves in clusters of five or more. This form was selected for its colouring, improved late spring frost tolerance, vigour, and habit.

Rare! A perennial conversation piece (so to speak) that performs well in the moist shade garden. Large, mottled, palmate leaves hide a spectacular flower in April and May. Elevate it in a tall pot, on a table, or on a bank above a walkway so that it's easier to see this sequestered deep red secret of a flower. Lift the leaf and amaze the unsuspecting. 2-3 ft tall and wide. Minimum temperature: 0°F
