Arisaema ringens - Green Form
Arisaema ringens – Green Form

With a flower head that resembles that of a cobra Arisaema ringens is a standout plant for a shaded garden.

This is a species that comes in two forms, one with a spadix thats is a very deep purple, the other with a green spadix.

It will grow well in the garden in a woodland situation, it is equally at home in a container.

The foliage lasts well through summer and over time the plant will form an attractive clump.

Care

A moist yet well drained soil and good dappled shade are the keys to growing this plant.

    • In the garden dig the soil over well before planting. Add some well rotted compost and cow manure.
    • Bulbs should be planted at around 10 cms (4 inches) deep.
    • Water in with a liquid seaweed fertiliser.
    • Mulch lightly.
    • In containers use a good quality potting mix and plant in the same manner as in the garden
