Arisaema consanguineum

Arisaema consanguineum is one of the most dramatic and stately of the the cobra lilies reaching 4-5 feet!

Arisaema consanguineum forms fantastic four to five foot umbrellas of multiple leaflets that rise dramatically from amongst hostas and ferns in my part shade garden. This is an easy and intriguing addition to the part shade to part sun border that will add drama and structure in spades. 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.
