Typhonium diversifolium

This rare species grows in the mountains of Himachal Pradesh (Northern India) and southern Tibet. You can find this unique plant in wet grasslands at an altitude of 2500-4300 meters! The flower spathe emerges from the ground simultaneously with the oval to arrow-shaped, green leaves. The flower spathe is strikingly deep red to chestnut brown on the inside with a blackish-grey spadix. The flower readily forms seeds, allowing the plant to establish itself well in the garden. Of course, the plants are completely winter-hardy and emerge quite late (in May).
