Description

A pink-flowered form of our native mayapple. Just beneath the deeply-lobed leaf, sits a single pink, horizontally-held flower that opens in early spring, just after the leaf has fully unfurled. As with all P. peltatum, P. 'Missouri May' spreads via underground stolons to make a 5' wide patch in 5 years when grown in rich, moist soils. Height 15"
