Podophyllum peltatum
MAY APPLE
SKU: 828-003
An exotic looking woodland plant, is actually extremely hardy! May Apple is named for the apple-looking fruit that it produces. The main attraction is the large and shiny leaves it produces. May Apple is happy in a shaded garden under trees, though can also be grown in a fairly sunny location. It does not need any special care, and slowly spreads to produce drifts.
Height: 12"
Type: Hardy perennial
Hardiness zones: 4-8
Location: Sun or shade
Note: Ornamental use only. These seeds and/or plants are poisonous.
Seeds per pack: 3
Germination: Sow the seeds just under the surface and water in. Leave them at room temperature for 4 weeks. This helps break the phytohormones which inhibit germination. They will not grow yet. Then a cooling period is required. Cover them with plastic and place in a fridge for 80 days. Be sure they stay moist. After the cold-moist stratification period they are then brought back to a cool room (15-18C, 59-68F) for them to germinate. Germination can be erratic, generally 30-90 days after the warming period, though some can take longer.
