Amorphophallus yunnanensis (Voodoo Lily)

Part Sun to Light ShadeZone: 7b-10 36" tall Origin: China, Thailand, N. Vietnam

Open House/Web-Only! This fun, easy-to-grow species from Yunnan, China makes a small plant to 3' tall. The single leaf is held atop a 2-3' tall, smooth, dark green stalk, beautifully mottled with lighter green to flesh-colored blotches. The flower emerges in early spring, albeit nothing like its better-endowed cousins. The 3-6" tall spadix, looking like a pink alien head with a white neck, sits atop a nicely mottled 1-2' tall petiole (stalk). To help hide the bizarre spadix from possible suitors is a green, speckled, hooded spathe. Amorphophallus yunnanensis has an undetectable scent...quite curious in a genus known for its odor. The large tuber offsets freely, and these can be removed easily if it is stored dry for the winter. Pot size: 24 fl. oz (709.77 ml)
