Plant Name for Large Photos (Lots of folks
still have dial up so this page only has small photos!)
A
valuable foliage Arabis forming a mound of neat rosettes, greens
leaves. White flowers on 6" stems. Roots
as it spreads. Lovely under-planted with blue Chinodoxa bulbs. Stunning in
masses. Evergreen except in the most hideous winter. 
THE most popular, elegant of all Jacks! A bit demanding about soil. Will take full sun. Large pink & white striped, ROSE SCENTED spathes held above bold trifoliate, glossy foliage. Late riser, often blooming in early July. Plant 12" deep in cold areas.
The Chinese clone sets seed freely unlike the old, sterile Forrest
clone. Emerges June/July. Very light to medium pink. Medium
bulbs should bloom in 2 years.
Gorgeous, tall, snakeskin mottled stems are topped by a parasol of
leaflets, each ending in a whiskery drip-tip to channel rain away from the
stem. The long spathe is beautiful shades of purple, brown and gray. An
easy 'Jack', it adds a striking architectural form to the shade garden.
The leaves often have beautiful drip tips as well. One of the easiest to grow.
These are bloom size bulbs.

This rare form has a silver centered leaf. One of the easiest to grow.
Just about fool-proof. Medium size bulbs are in the second year
from bulblets and
are a year or two from bloom size.
A
Native relative of Jack-in-the-Pulpit but with a long whip on the
'Jack'. More interesting and exotic & RARE. 7-12 leaflets. (Younger
plants have from 3-5 leaflets.) Needs at least average moisture. Red
fruit looks similar to the common Jack. Good with hostas or ferns that
fill in when it goes summer DORMANT. Like our other Native, this
blooms when the bulb is still fairly small compared to some Arisaemas so
don't be surprised to see a small bulb -- that's it's nature. 
Both the Gusmans and Li and Heng, authors of
the Draft Treatment for the Flora of China, have concluded that
Arisame flavum is "highly variable". The draft treatment rejects any
subdivisions of flavum. The Gusmans have dropped the name A.
flavum subsp. abbreviatum. Translated, this offering is
supposed to be shorter form than the species but experts no longer
recognize a separate name for the shorter form -- they're just all
Arisaema flavum now, considered highly variable in height -- however our
seed for this and the above (from a devoted grower of Arisaemas) came
listed as A. flavum and A.f.ssp. abbreviatum and thus we offer it as such and
anticipate these seed grown plants to be shorter at maturity. Seed
grown in their 3rd growth cycle. Some bloomed in 2012. CANNOT TAKE EXCESS MOISTURE IN
WINTER.
An
easy, reliable, June flowering Arisaema but totally rare in the trade.
With pink bulbs like it's relative, A. candidissimum, it has rich maroon
and white helmets with a long 'drip tip'. Three part
leaves are large and handsome with a matt finish. Similar in
appearance to A. fargesii. Likes at least half day sun but is a
very tolerant 'Jack'. Bloom size.
Late
spring bloomer. this remarkable Japanese Arisaema's flowers appear
before the foliage. The leaves are dark, near black upon emerging, and
are green and silvery veined when fully opened. The flower is held on a
short stalk, the spathe is dark purple with white markings inside. The
spadix is tail-like and more than 5" long. 
Woodland
perennial that is native to Japan. It is closely related to the
Jack-in-the-pulpit that is native to eastern North America (Arisaema
triphyllum). Each tuber produces a single stalk containing two glossy
green trifoliate leaves,. From the center of the leaf stalks rises a
cobra-like flower in spring. Each flower consists of a showy, green and
purple striped spathe (to 4-6" tall) with a hood that covers the inner
yellow to white flower spike. Soil must be consistently moist but does
poor in heavy clay soil.
Very
rare species from Japan with 3-parted leaves and "ears" on the chocolate
brown spathe. Sends out short rhizomes from the tuber and makes new
tubers on the ends, forming colonies. 
A hooded, striped, green to purple spathe & spadix appear in spring, followed by red berries on mature plants. DORMANT in summer. APPEARS TO US TO DETER MOLES
nearby. Ours are grown HERE from seed -- takes 3-5 years to reach bloom & sale size. These
are 3-4 year olds bulbs and most will bloom this year.
These will be mixed bloom colors, green, maroon, possibly a 'Lazy S'S
Form' that slipped in by accident if you're lucky! Small but
bloom-size bulbs. (This native blooms at a very young age and
relatively small bulb and yet will eventually grow huge if happy.)
An
uncommon Aroid that's as cute as it can be. Beautiful dark
green arrowhead foliage forms large clumps when happy. The
purple and white blooms have long 'drip tips' hence the name mouse
tail. Good multiplier. From Italy and Spain. Can take deep
shade. The
Aroid Society has at least one member growing this in Zone 4B.
Insect
repellant in Colonial days. A semi-evergreen, shrubby plant w/
FEATHERY, silver-grey green foliage & a strong tangerine scent.
Tiny flowers are borne in dense panicles in late summer; unless it's
a cool. Known as Old Man, Lad's Love -- by any name, it's a beauty.
Can be kept shorter by pruning. 
Licorice
flavor used in vinegars, soups & stews. Stimulates digestion.
Add to hot cooking only during last 15 minutes. Dormant in winter;
can be kept potted indoors. Flowers are best removed. Must have
rich, sandy, well drained soil & sun. The TRUE FRENCH TARRAGON.
Mulch in winter. Stimulates the digestive system. Can't stand wet
feet! 
Handsome,
erect clumps of purplish green, heavily dissected leaves on purple
stems are topped w/ showy, fragrant milky white flowers for A VERY
LONG TIME if adequate moisture. Use in arrangements & as a moth
preventative. Prefers moister, richer soil than other Artemisias.
Slightly acid soil best but any is okay. The species is a RHS
Award of Garden Merit Winner and this is even better! A Chicago
Botanic Garden 'Best Plants'
Beautiful silvery, lacy foliage in soft rounded 2' mounds. Makes whatever is planted next to it look even better. Periodic 'tipping' keeps stems full & dense. Evergreen but ready to be cut back hard in early spring when new growth appears. Superb plant. Very deer resistant.
From
the plant collection of Dr. Jim Clements comes this beautiful
selection of Arum with bright white veins and black spots scattered
over deep green leaves. The wavy margined leaves are of heavy
substance. Unlike some, this form must be older to produce
'mature' foliage as opposed to 'juvenile' foliage, much like many
Hostas. When mature, the leaf looks significantly different
and gorgeous!.
Bright
red-orange berries in the fall. Marbled, UNRIVALED WINTER FOLIAGE
then appears & remain green all winter. Perfect planted around
hostas because their peak foliage times are in opposite seasons.
DORMANT in SUMMER. Over fertilizing reduces marbling. "I wouldn't
garden without it!" (Avent) AKA, Arum italicum 'Pictum'
Compact, evergreen, woodland perennial with creamy white plumes somewhat like an Astilbe; lends a delicate airy appearance to the shade garden. Fernlike foliage. Rare and choice. Native to Korea and Japan, this is a miniature variety and easy.
Like
a giant white Astilbe, w/ 6' tall blooms, this handsome plant is
beautiful for many months. Staking isn't necessary -- you probably
couldn't push them over. Takes several years to establish full
height. Beautiful with Autumn Fern or Siberian Iris or as a backdrop
to any shade planting. 
The
same as the species but this German hybrid
performs much better in windy areas due to being shorter and
stockier, reaching 30" in bloom rather than 6 feet. Also it may be a better height in a smaller garden.
Differs
from the species in that it's more compact AND has deeply cut
foliage but the trade off is slightly less showy flowers but still
very nice. Maxing out at 36" tall, the rich green foliage is
almost threadlike and it has tiny, cream colored blooms rising above
the foliage in late May. Looks a bit like an Astilbe.
An
exciting dwarf hybrid (A. diocus x A. aesthusifolia) of Goatsbeard
with delicate creamy white flower panicles in early spring.
This Allan Armitage introduction has red stems and fern-like leaves,
medium to dark green and very rich. An upright form that
creates a mature clump 2.5' tall x 2' wide. It has a very
showy texture to the foliage, much more fine that A. aesthusifolia.
And one of it's best features is that it's both heat and humidity
tolerant as well as cold tolerant. And she's so special, she
has a
