Amorphophallus dunnii (Voodoo Lily)

Sun to Part SunZone: 7b-10, possibly colder 24" tall Origin: China, Thailand, N. Vietnam

Open House/Web-Only! (aka: Amorphophallus odoratus) Similar to Amorphophallus yunnanensis, Amorphophallus dunnii boasts a peculiar flower stalk that reaches 2' tall, topped with a 8-10" ice cream cone-like flower. The vase (spathe) looks like a green-and-white speckled cone with a "zipped-open" front...for better exposure. The creamy white, bulbous sexual appendage (spadix) sits like a...well, you know...a sexual appendage inside the spathe. According to amorphophallus guru Wilbert Hetterscheid, the flower smells of fresh carrots, but then who could trust Wilbert's nose after smelling so many amorphophallus? The 2' tall speckled stalk is topped in summer with typical amorphophallus foliage. This fast-offsetting species is an easy one for beginners. Pot size: 24 fl. oz (709.77 ml)
