Description
Arisaema flavum has a lovely bright yellow spathe that is purple inside. Arisaemas are unusual plants and require a shady spot to establish. They require good drainage and plenty of leaf mulch. Arisaema flavum is widespread across north-eastern Africa and southern Asia.
Arisaemas are a large and diverse genus and the largest concentration of species is in China and Japan, with other species native to other parts of southern Asia as well as eastern and central Africa, Mexico and eastern North America. Arisaemas are also known as “jack in the pulpit”. Arisaema plants are typically male when small and female or hermaphroditic when large.
Tip: Arisaema flavum will work really well with Anemone nemerosa and blandas.
