Arisaema consanguineum ‘The Perfect Wave’ Seedlings

Arisaema consanguineum ‘The Perfect Wave’ is a breathtaking variegated cobra lily with silver centres and bluish green edges. These plants are seedlings from the cultivar which offer variations on the variegated theme. Plants can reach 3-4 feet high emerging in late spring into dramatic umbrellas of multiple leaflets. Green flowers give way to green then red clusters of fruits. Arisaema are known as cobra lilies or jack-in-the-pulpits. There are only two North American species but many in Asia. They grow in moist, shaded, forested habitats and are great for adding cool foliage and floral intrigue in the shade or woodland garden where they can rise up and through other shade plants. In colder climates they can be grown in pots and protected in winter. Keep just above freezing. In pots, plant in a moist but free-draining mix of coarse bark and pumice or perlite. Pull back on watering when dormant.
