Arisaema
Also called Jack In The Pulpits And Cobra Lilies
Arisaema is a genus of about 150 tuberous perennials in the arum family, including jack-in-the-pulpit and cobra lilies, grown for their hooded spathes. They need a cool, shaded spot with moist, humus-rich soil and a winter dormancy period.
Arisaema is a large and diverse genus of the flowering plant family Araceae. The largest concentration of species is in China and Japan, with other species native to other parts of southern Asia as well as eastern and central Africa, Mexico and eastern North America. Asiatic species are often called cobra lilies, while western species are often called jack-in-the-pulpit; both names refer to the distinctive appearance of the flower, which consists of an erect central spadix rising from a spathe.
