Arisaema
candidissimum 'Pink Flower' Chinese
Cobra Lily Zone:
4B-9A
 
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.

Arisaema consanguineum
Chinese Cobra Lily Zone: 4B-11
  
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.

Arisaema

Chinese Cobra Lily Zone: 4B-11
  
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

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

are a year or two from bloom size.

Arisaema dracontium Green Dragon
Zone: 4-9
 
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.

Arisaema flavum (3 yr
Small Bulbs) Yellow
Chinese Cobra Lily Zone: 4B-7
  

One of a 4-5 Arisaemas that are both male
and female on the same plant and this is true even when young when the
other 3-4 need to be mature so you're getting a built in baby maker!
Generous with seedlings. Adaptive and easy to grow.
Deeply lobed palmate leaves with 5-11 leaflets. Cute, chubby
little yellow canopy with maroon in the throat over a green and white
spathe, a lovely fragrance. The only true buttercup yellow 'Jack'.
Seed grown in their 3rd growth cycle. Original parents in the
following height range but the species can be taller.

Arisaema flavum ssp. abbreviatum (Small
Bulbs)
Yellow Chinese Cobra Lily Zone: 4B-7
  
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.

Arisaema ringens
Cobra Lily

Jack-in-the-pulpit that is native to eastern North America (Arisaema

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.

Arisaema triphyllum

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.)

selection of Arum with bright white veins and black spots scattered
over deep green leaves. The wavy margined leaves are of heavy

'mature' foliage as opposed to 'juvenile' foliage, much like many
Hostas. When mature, the leaf looks significantly different
and gorgeous!.

Aruncus x 'Misty Lace' PP15,798 Dwarf

Zone: 3-7
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 Press
Release. Wowee! The best qualities of both parents.
