Podophyllum hexandrum 'Majus' (P. emodi) Himalayan Mayapple

The Himalayan mayapple stands above other Podophyllum species, with unusual1" soft pink, poppy-like flowers born above beautifully patterned foliage in spring. The plants eventually grow 20-30" tall and, although not as heavily mottled as P. veitchii, leaves emerge with reptilian patterns of red and green. Large, brilliant-red fruit form in mid to late summer. Prospers in humus-rich, well-drained soils in light to moderate shade.
