Aroid Arisaemas & Arums etc.

We have placed these closely related plants together so that those infatuated with them can find them with ease. All are tuberous and have flower spathes (colored leaf-like organ) that surround the spadix (fleshy spike). Most species require part sun (usually woodland type planting) and humus-rich soil. A very striking group of plants.

We sell small tubers around the size of a quarter that will bloom in about 2 years. Amorphophallus corms may at any time delay sprouting for a season, particularly after blooming, so mark where you plant them. Shade to part sun. Eventually the corms can weigh up to 8 kilos.
