Arisaema urashima (Cobra Lily)

Part Sun to Light ShadeZone: 5-8 15" tall Origin: Japan

Web-Only! (syn: A. thunbergii ssp. urashima) Each 15" tall, dusty purple stalk of A. urashima is topped by one horizontal leaf with 11-15 narrow leaflets (wider than A. thunbergii) radiating out from a central horseshoe-shaped base. In midspring, the flower emerges from the main stalk with a purple pitcher. The top cover narrows to a point that hangs over the front of the pitcher. From inside emerges a purple, whip-like tail extending upward to nearly 18"...a true dominatrix moment! A. urashima is very easy to grow and offsets well, unlike many of its cousins. A. urashima is best in typical to dry woodland conditions. Pot size: 24 fl. oz (709.77 ml)
