From the Himalayan Mountains. Requires mulch for protection in colder areas.
The Spathe ( bloom) is a light green with delicate white lines.The spadix widens as it reaches upwards. A nice cold hardy and compact plant, they make a wondeful splash of green in rock gardens.
“Usually an easy species to grow in zones 7+, it can be strict about soil conditions. Its ground must be extremely well-draining or the large cylindrical tuber & roots may rot. Yet consistent moisture is also required.
The spathe lasts three or four weeks then dies back. If it develops a seed head, that will ripen slowly, lasting until the start of autumn.
The very decorative leaf will generally last until summer’s end unless the soil gets too dry or the stem gets battered. Harsh weather does sometimes break the larger varieties of jack-in-the-pulpits, so that a leeside windbreak of shrubbery is useful both to protect it from high winds & to provide it with its requisit shade.”
