Pinellia tripartita 'Silver Dragon' (Silver Dragon Pinellia)

Part Sun to Light ShadeZone: 5-9, at least 12" tall Origin: Japan

NEW! This unique Japanese selection of their native Pinellia tripartita makes a 1' tall x 1' wide clump composed of glossy green tripartite (three-parted) leaves flecked with a silver overlay...think a really bad case of spider mites and you get the picture...without the leaf distortion, of course. The clumps are adorned with 15" tall, Jack-in-the-pulpit like flowers held just above the foliage throughout the summer. As the flowers age they dump their seed near the base of the plant, so when you have enough babies, a little horticultural circumcision does the trick...of course now that we're headed toward nationalized plant care, why should you worry how many babies you have? Pot size: 24 fl. oz (709.77 ml)
