Nursery contributed plant descriptions

This jack in the pulpit has fairly large spathes that hang down over the flower. Large, deep green glossy foliage.
Blackest of black huge spathe on this Asian monster. Plants are 12" - 24" when in flower and you get the true feeling of why this genus is referred to as "Cobra Lilies" when you see her in flower. The foliage is also huge and looks kinda like a mutated clover leaf. Easy to grow in full shade to part sun.
This common Asian species is one of the best for gardens. It has glorious three-parted foliage, gray-green and glossy, and a unique green-and purple, rather fist-shaped flower. A. ringens is an easy long-lived garden plant that forms large clumps with time. Worth growing as a handsome foliage plant with the bonus of very cool flowers. Always popular.
