In spring, new growth of deeply lobed umbrella like rounded foliage appears, marbled and spotted in chocolate maroon. In spring, it produces crimson, long petalled flowers that hang below the foliage. This is a lovely contrast plant to have in the garden. Fertilise throughout the peak growing seasons with preferred fertiliser. Podophyllum Spotty Dotty has moderate requirements once established.

Planting Tips:
Make sure to prepare the soil prior to planting. Mixing in a bag of well-aged animal manure or compost can help to conditions and revitalise tired soil. Make sure to blend with pre-existing soil, mixing together thoroughly. Once the soil has been prepare, dig a hole which is wider, but not deeper, than what the original size of the pot the plant has come in. Position the plant in the hole and backfill any gasp with the excess soil. Give the plant a deep soaking of water to help settle the roots.
If planting into a pot make sure that the container chosen is large enough for the plant being planted. Never pot a plant into a container which is too small. Use a premium quality potting mix as this has all the added fertilisers and wetting agents required for having a healthy plant.
