Description
Sauromatum venosum is a weird, otherworldly looking aroid. In spring the 2 foot tall, very narrow 1 inch wide flower stalk begins to unfurl, its inside patterned violet and yellow. A mottled green and black stem and leaves much like its Arisaema relatives follow in summer. Also may be known as Sauromatum guttatum, Arum cornutum, Typhonium venosum. Choose a spot that will stay dry over winter. At the nursery we don’t begin to water until after growth emerges.
