Arisaema consanguineum

 

Cobra Lily

Arisaema consanguineum is ideal for the woodland garden. The leaf stem emerges in spring to early summer reaching nearly 1m tall with a bract of leaflets at the top. The hooded flowers can be pure green or white and brown striped. The foliage remains all growing season and may be followed by a bright orange-red seed pod in late summer to early autumn.

Planting Outdoors

From Late Winter TO Early Spring

Plant container grown plants in deep fertile, well-drained soil in a sunny site, in late winter/early spring. Surrounding the corms and root in a mix of coarse bark, shingle and sharp sand when planting will help to prevent it rotting in a wet climate.

 

Propagation by seed or offsets

From Late Summer TO Late Autumn

Propagate by seed, sowing them in containers in a cold frame in autumn. Offsets may be removed in late summer
