Nursery contributed plant descriptions

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. Usually listed as zone 6 but proving hardy in zone 5.

We have a small amount of this pretty foliage plant. The leaves, especially in spring are green with spots all over. Makes a beautiful plant for the woodland.

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

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
