Arisaema ringens 'Purple Form' 1 Small tuber

This special Arisaema tells the plant story in the most graceful way...: in spring, the growing tips emerge from the ground as grey-pink, speckled spears, which soon burst open to reveal the (then still) wrinkled leaves and flowers. The leaves grow into broad, three-part parasols, hiding the precious floral treasure, but you can spy on it from the side: the spathe-shaped flowers have a beautiful rolled sheath with a deep brown to black spadix at the turning point. The spathes are beautifully striped green to brownish-white. A single tuber produces green flowers. After flowering, thick clusters of orange-red berries grow from the flower spike, announcing the start of autumn...
