We are very pleased to offer the highly coveted hybrid pinellia (Pinellia tripartita 'Atropurpurea' x Pinellia pedatisecta), discovered and introduced by We-Du founder, the late Dick Weaver. The plant is an intermediate between the two parents with one additional trait...self sterility (no seed set unless you have other pinellia species nearby). We've been assured by medical professionals that this is not reversible, so don't fret about baby pinellias. The vigorous clumps produce both 2' tall, upright stalks of five-leaflet foliage alongside the equal-height stalks of spathe and spadix flowers from early April through September. Pinellia 'Polly Spout' is named for the small town of Polly Spout, NC, where We-Du was founded.
