Arisaema sikokianum : Plant Profile
|
|
Arisaema sikokianum are originally from Japan and are sometimes called the Shikoku cobra lily. These lovely flowering plants can be grown from bulbs or seeds. Shikoku is a small island where A. sikokianum is found.
With large foliage and gret flowers A.sikokianum will reach around 3ft (1m) the divided foliage is attractive but it is the hooded flower with its shining white spadix that appears in spring that is a real 'show stopper'.
Why are they so rare ? Well they are a little difficult to germinate from seed. Plants will set offsets and will eventually form a clump that can be divided, we suggest dividing in late winter, just before spring growth commences,
