May Apple plants are native to North American deciduous forests. It grows under the forest canopy, flowers, and withers in late summer. It's large lobed leaves is very decorative in rare and exotic perennial gardens.
Hardier than some other ephemerals, the flower grows to 30–40 cm tall with thick stems that produce two to three palmately lobed foliage leaves of up to 30 cm diameter. Of those, five to nine of the cut lobes reproduce. The 3-5 cm diameter flower blooms pale yellow. As it matures, it turns into a fruit.
It is also called the Indian Apple, Hog Apple, Mayflower, Umbrella Plant, Wild Lemon, or Wild Mandrake. It is found throughout the eastern woodlands of Canada and the United States and is typically entangled in the rhizome systems of many wildflowers.
The green environment makes May apple plants fecund for reproduction. The seeds, which appear like circular clones, reproduce annually through far-distance dispersal. The protection of the forest ensures replication. It is such a great addition to any home!
