Description

The listing, JACK IN THE PULPIT SEEDS (Arisaema triphyllum) has ended.

this auction is for 12 seeds will double that with GIN
Jack-in-the-pulpit produces one to two 3-lobed leaves 12 to 18 inches high. The leaves appear in early spring as does the flower, which is composed of a green-and-purple striped spathe bent over at its tip to partly hide the green clublike spadix. After the flower fades, a cluster of bright red berries appears and lasts for much of the summer. The leaves fade away in midsummer if the plant is not watered regularly but grow back in spring from an underground tuber. Ease of care of jack-in-the-pulpit: Easy.
Growing jack-in-the-pulpit: This plant naturally grows on rich, moist forest floors and so is perfectly suited to shady gardens. Add plenty of compost or peat moss at planting time.

Hi, I love these. I remember finding them in the woods with Daddy as a little girl. A couple of questions please. Have you ever tried to grow one inside? Also we live in the Western NC mountains. Some winter temps are brutal. I know the pulpits are in our area. What is the best time to plant? Thank you.... Jo

you are in luck the jack in the pulpit is native to the eastern united states and ranges from florida to nova scotia so the cold doesn't seem to be a problem shade is important though the shadier the better and no never did try to grow inside but can probably be done , l know they should be stratified (keep in freezer for a while before planting) am including a link that will explain better than l can
l just plant in the fall and they winter over here and pop up in the spring
