How to grow mayapple
Podophyllum peltatum
When to plant mayapple
Mayapple sends up umbrella-like leaves in spring, with a single white flower blooming in spring (NC State: April to May) beneath the leaves. Plant or divide rhizomes in spring or fall in shaded, moist soil; it spreads to form colonies.
Mayapple is timed by season rather than your frost dates, so the planting calendar does not generate ZIP-specific dates for it. Check the cited sources below to fine-tune for your area.
