Arisaema ‘Triphyllum’

Description

Common name: Jack In The Pulpit

  Commonly called Jack-in-the-pulpit, is a spring woodland wildflower usually growing 1- 2′ tall. Flowering plants initially produce only male flowers but become hermaphroditic as they further age (male flowers on the upper part of spadix and female on lower part). Most plants in a colony will vanish by mid-summer (become dormant), but the mature, hermaphroditic flowering plant will produce a cluster of red berries in mid to late summer which becomes visible as the spathe withers. Roots contain calcium oxalate (same chemical as in Diffenbachia or dumb cane) and are poisonous.
