More Information About Pinellia
Pinellia flowers, like that of all members of the family araceae have a unique anatomy...the spathe and spadix. While there are weedy members of the genus (Pinellia ternata, and to a lesser extent, Pinellia pedatisecta) the remaining members make great additions to the woodland garden.
Like its aroid relatives, Pinellia prefers partial shade to morning sun and well-amended, evenly moist garden soil. Pinellia produces its bizarre, snake-like, green flowers from spring to fall. Although we have selected the most non-invasive pinellia, many still produce viable seed, so keep this in mind when siting your plants.
