Arisaema consanguineum

A large and bold perennial arising from an underground tuberous rhizome in late spring. This is a magnificent plant in the landscape, with a large whorl of 10 to 20 leaflets atop a tall stem up to four feet in height. The leaves are dark green and may be marked with silver. The amazing flowers are the typical spathe and spadix which distinguishes this family of plants. In this particular species, the spathe is greenish with a long and narrow pendulous tip. The protruding, knob‑like spadix is also green. Blooms in mid‑ to late summer. Plant the tubers two or three inches down (deeper in colder climates) in a moist and organic soil with good drainage. A stunning accent in the woodland garden or as a companion to rhododendrons. Spectacular tropical effect once established, especially when planted in groups. Native to China where it occurs in a wide variety of habitats.
