This is a widespread and variable species of Jack-in-the-Pulpit, native to much of eastern Asia including Russia, China and Korea. It features green flowers, typically striped with white or purple. A very hardy and easily grown species. This is our first offering of this excellent woodland wildflower. Blooming size plants.

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 sometimes 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.

This woodland perennial “Jack‑in‑the‑Pulpit” has to be seen to be believed. The deep purple glossy “hood” of the spathe surrounds the pure glistening white of the club‑like spadix – a striking color combination. The plant rises to around one or two feet in height in early spring from an underground, tuber‑like structure. In addition to the “out of this world” flowers, the foliage is often marked with silver streaking. Best in woodland conditions and soil (similar culture to trilliums, hostas, etc.).

A fantastic woodland perennial “Jack‑in‑the‑Pulpit.” This is a large species that can reach 4–5 ft. in height if provided with good soil and plenty of water during the growing season. The stem is mottled purple‑brown and the whorled leaves are shiny and have a long terminal “drip tip.” The deep reddish‑chocolate and glossy “hood” of the spathe appears below the narrow leaves. One of the easiest and most ornamental of the jack‑in‑the‑pulpits. Best in woodland conditions and soil (similar culture to trilliums, hostas, etc.).

A member of the Gesneriaceae (African Violet family) that is endemic to the temperate rain forests of coastal Chile and adjacent Argentina. This is a very rarely offered creeping/climbing epiphytic, very delicate and slow-growing “vine” (I really hesitate to use that word). Best in a hanging basket or in a cool greenhouse. Requires shade and a well-drained but organic soil, preferably with good humidity – not a plant for a hot or sunny location. The small rounded leaves are hairy with coarse teeth and the large and showy tubular flowers flare out strongly at the mouth. These are rich raspberry-pink in color and appear in mid-summer. A hummingbird favorite. 

This is a very large-leafed herbaceous perennial which can reach five feet in height under ideal conditions. The huge (to two feet across!) round deciduous leaves are peltate (like an umbrella) and bristly pubescent with an irregularly lobed margin. The white flowers are borne in a slightly nodding panicle (like an Astilbe) in early summer. A stunning accent plant for cool, moist humus-rich soils.  Excellent in the woodland garden or near water. Choice and always a “conversation piece”. Native to Manchuria and North Korea so very tolerant of cold temps. A great perennial plant - rarely offered.  

An extremely rare evergreen shrub or small tree in cultivation. This taxon is sometimes included within the variable A. chinensis complex. This distinct species has very large and leathery leaves that are quite glossy and very coarsely toothed. It tends to grow more in the shape of a small tree rather than a bushy shrub like most other Aucuba species and cultivars. Our first offering of this choice ornamental which will add a very "tropical" look to your garden.
