An excellent woodland denizen of decidedly good vigor, this Chinese Mayapple has one or two medium green umbrella-like leaves of good substance. For some reason, the shape of the leaves always reminds me of White Rhino tracks in the sandy soils of the South African bush- just before the charge! Anyway, although the species of this Podophyllum is in flux, the one thing we do know is that it's a keeper with a dense collar (sometimes 20!) of reddish-brown down-facing flowers nestled just under the leaves.

Our thanks to Darrell Probst for venturing out to collect the seed of this gem.

Carefully packed for each plant

Once your order is ready, we bring the plants from our greenhouses into a holding area. Each plant is wrapped by hand and, when needed, staked to protect tender stems. Because our inventory is so diverse, we adjust the packing method for each plant based on its size, type, and stage of growth.

We reuse clean paper and plastic packing materials whenever practical. It is easier on the planet and helps keep shipping costs down for you, too.

Choose your Monday ship date

At checkout, choose from the available Monday ship dates. We ship with UPS from Monmouth, Oregon, and you will receive an email with tracking information when your shipment is prepared or enters the UPS system.

Arrival times vary by destination and weather, so we cannot guarantee a specific delivery date or time.
