Amorphophallus kiusianus (Voodoo Lily)

Part Sun to Light ShadeZone: 7-10 36" tall Origin: China, Japan, Taiwan

Open House/Web-Only! In early spring, the 2' tall green-and white-speckled flower stalk is topped with a cute 6" tall green and white spotted vase (that's vaaazze for you rich folks). Shooting out from the center of the vase is the spadix, like an 8" long purple-tipped spear (must not be shown to kids under 18!). After flowering, a solitary 3' tall fleshy petiole emerges from the tuber, topped with a giant shredded umbrella-type leaf. Although the tuber offsets slowly, this is one of the few self-fertile amorphophallus species (it can have both sex and babies without a partner). Our plants are probably 2-3 years away from flowering size. Pot size: 24 fl. oz (709.77 ml)
