Mayapple Wildflowers: Can You Grow Mayapple Plants In Gardens

Mayapple Wildflowers: Can You Grow Mayapple Plants In Gardens

Last Modified September 15, 2016 By Staff Writer

May apple plants in gardens are grown primarily for their deeply cut, umbrella-like leaves. The blooming period is short, lasting only two to three weeks in mid- to late spring. May apples thrive in dry, semi-shady conditions? Consider planting May apple wildflowers under the dappled light provided by pines or other deciduous trees. Ripe may apple fruit – the size of a small lemon – on the other hand, is often incorporated into jellies, preserves or punch. Don’t overdo it though, as even ripe fruit may have some lingering effects on sensitive tummies.

Key Takeaways:

  • Mayapples are often grown for their umbrella-like leaves. They doo best in dry, semi-shady conditions.
  • The plant’s roots and unripe seeds can be toxic.
  • Ripe mayapple fruit is often used in jellies, preserves and punches. However, even then, they should still be eaten in moderation in case of stomach sensitivities.

“Mayapple roots, leaves and seeds are highly toxic when eaten in large quantities.”
