One of the most desirable of all cobra lilies with its incredible burgundy spathe, pure white interior and pure white knobbed spadix. This selection even has silver-centred foliage! Plant in well-drained soil that is dryish in the winter such as on a slope or near or under evergreen shrubs or trees.

The creme de la creme of Arisaemas in many gardener's eyes. Marvelous silver splashed foliage and unmistakeable flowers that are pure sculpture. I think it is the visually arresting spadix standing upright in the flower seemingly chiseled from the finest white Carrera marble.
