- Product number: 574720
- Origin: Indian subcontinent
- Latin: Arisaema tortuosum
This is one of the tallest Arisaemas, with the white-green-lilac flowers (usually) towering 1-1.5 m above the palmate leaves. The flower spathe (or spadix) develops into a long tail that stands straight up. Give them very humus-rich soil and plant them safely 10-20 cm deep for sturdy growth. After flowering, beautifully thick clusters of red berries appear in autumn. This species is mainly found in the wild in the Indian subcontinent.
