Nursery contributed plant descriptions

A vigorous, ground cover Arisaema! Upright stems 2’+ tall are topped with an exotic whorl of narrow leaflets resembling the spokes of an umbrella; spathe flowers on shorter stems with vertical striping of ivory and purple in late spring to early summer followed by clusters of bright red berries. This baby expands by rhizomes (making it one of the easiest in the genus to grow) in light to moderate shade in well drained, evenly moist soil; deer resistant.

Tall and slender and very oriental in appearance is the best way for me to describe this one. At the top of the 24" - 36" stem the leaf radiates out in a dozen or more directions with very slender leaflets. The brilliant red clusters of berries produced in the Autumn can sometimes weight the plant down and you may want to stake it before the seed heads mature.
