Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Also from Mojmir these are very interesting, sometimes producing a single leaf of Elephant Ear proportions, others send up three leaflets, much like candidissimum, and some are intermediate with a large central leaflet and two smaller ones at the sides, flowers are brown striped like elephas with a candidissimum spadix. Magnificent, they looked tender as hell to me but Mojmir insists they are hardy for him, and it has been fantastic in Punnett's garden; I'd still plant em deep and near the house. ZONE 5

One of the prettiest of the arisaemas -- we say this mostly because we have it -- this 24" perennial has been a beautiful and reliable addition to our shade garden it its compound leaves consisting of many narrow leaflets, in this form, banded in the center with silver. These can be late to emerge, sometimes not showing until late summer, so plant away from overactive shovels. Requires shade and summer dampness but no winter puddles. Frost hardy in USDA zone 7 and possibly colder.
