Title: Unknown arisaema
Post by: Claire Cockcroft on May 03, 2014, 08:58:01 PM

Hello!  I hope someone can put a name to this arisaema.  Several years ago I received the seed pot (ungerminated) from a friend when her husband passed away.  The pot was labeled "Arisaema sp. ex China".
Thank you.

It looks a lot like amurense.  I have beds full of them.  They are a rampant weed in irrigated gardens around here.

Yikes!  Thanks for the information.  I'll keep an eye on it!

Here is a nice group of them:

They are a pest, but they are not nearly as bad as Italian Arum.
