An amusing fellow, with beautiful three-lobed leaves? (GS Thomas) and distinctive! hooded purple-&-white striped flowers in early spring, this wildflower of Eastern woodlands is showy again in fall with spikes of orange-red fruits. PSh/M
Exotic spring wildflower from our NE woodlands…an easy intro into this prized genus. Each ‘bulb’ produces two large, compound leaves with three leaflets and hooded spathe flower with green to purple striping (variable) April>May on stems 1-2’ high. Mature plants will produce red berries after flowering in late summer with leaves vanishing my late summer. Happiest in rich, organic, loose soil with plenty of moisture in part to full shade. Plants will offset and eventually reseed to form a cool little colony over time. Best left undisturbed.
Showy clump of narrow little shiny yellow leaves with lightly wavy edges & twisted tips on top of attractive red speckled stems; great for borders or rock gardens. Lavender flowers in early summer. Plant in partial sun to full shade. Miniature hosta.
Zn 4. Green & purlpe stripes. Summer dormant.
Our three leaved native "Jack In The Pulpit" provides 3 seasons of interest in the shade garden as its early Spring blooming, unique flowers turn into striking heads of red berries in the fall. I've seen plants reach up to 36" in height under ideal conditions. Typically they are 12" - 24" tall.
Ariseama triphyllum has green and maroon striped hooded spathes and is one of two North American species. The rest of the genus is from Asia and offers some marvelous plants for the woodland garden, some of which we'll have from seed in a couple of years. If you're an afficionado, ask about some very rare and choice cultivars that we should have arriving this spring.
No woodland garden is complete without Jack in the Pulpit (Arisaema triphyllum). A best-seller of the woodland, the pulpit-like flower yields bright red berries in late summer when most other woodland plants have already gone by. Highly adaptable, Jack in the Pulpit grows in almost any rich woodland soil, even in wet, swampy areas. Hardy to Zones 3 - 9.
Our native jack, hooded blossoms striped green or purple with a white spadix hidden inside followed by large clusters of conspicuous scarlet berries. They are being decimated in many areas by wild turkeys. These avian rototillers are starting to rival deer and bunnies in terms of garden damage.
Our East Coast native with hooded green or purple, white-striped spathes, followed by clusters of red berries. Best in humus-rich, moist soil. Corm size 1/2" to 3/4"; we expect some of them to bloom. Shipped September through the mid of April.
Blooms: spring-summer, Green or brown & green trifoliate foliage Zone 5-9. 24", Eastern US, part shade-shade, moist, well drained
