Arisaema ringens

Description

A particularly robust form of an easy Jack-in-the-pulpit with an outstanding and dramatic flower resembling a cobra’s head, the purple stalks topped with spathes of green and purple stripes folded over and showing the dark, purple-black interior. Herbaceous, emerging early in the spring with two, tripartite leaves from each bulb, eventually offsetting and forming clumps to 12-24″ tall and up to 3 ft wide. Stunning in bright light, part sun or dappled shade, in moist, rich soil with regular water. Frost hardy in USDA zone 5. Benefits from winter mulch.
