Jack in the Pulpet

Common Name: Jack-in-the-Pulpet

Botanical Name: Arisaema triphyllum

Variety: N/A

Blossom Color: Green/Red

Bloom Time: Apr-Jun

Zone: 3 to 9

Exposure: Part Shade to Shade

Mature Height: 12-24"

Mature Width: 10-18"

Notes: An excellent woodland garden plant. Grows best in rich soil, shady, seasonally wet locations, but thrives in a range of conditions. Unusual cup-shaped bloom with an overhanging roof. Green berries form in mid-summer and ripen to vibrant red as the foliage goes dormant in the fall. Herbivores will not eat the plant, but the berries are a food source for birds like the Wood Thrush and Wild Turkey.
