From the Amur Peninsula, this "Jack in the Pulpit" sort of resembles our Arisaema triphyllum in flower in shape and form, but has five leaflets instead of three. Interesting and variable markings on the spathe and easy to grow in full shade to part sun.

We sold this for some years as triphyllum ssp. pusillum before being enlightened that it is the closely related Russain Far East Arisaema amurense. Similar but different. Fun having a new species! An easy Jack in the Pulpit increasing nicely my offsets. Good moist soil.
