Arisaema costatum

Post by doublemom2 »

I LOVE this arisaema, almost more for the foliage than for the flower. The leaves are absolutely huge, and really have a tropical feel to them. Any one else have this one?

That is really cool. I've been thinking about trying more of these myself, but sometimes the cost is a bit much for my wallet. I suspect their hardiness varies quite a bit so I won't be trying any but the most cold hardy.

Thanks for sharing!

Andi
the one I got this year from Naylor looks great!--and it's still in a pot in the greenhouse, though. thanks for recommending it.
will I ever learn to get things in the ground?
always looking for the RIGHT place and waiting to renovate and get rid of old stuff.

Missed you at the trade.
