Podophyllum pleianthum
A shade-loving, rhizomatous woodland perennial from south-central and southeast China and Taiwan, grown for its large maroon flowers and handsome leaves. The key to success is cool, moist, shaded conditions with rich, well-drained soil.
Podophyllum pleianthum (syn. Dysosma pleiantha), the many-flowered Chinese mayapple, is a species of flowering plant in the genus Podophyllum, native to south-central and southeast China, including Taiwan. Shade tolerant, and deer resistant due to its toxicity, it has gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit.
