Pinellia pedatisecta
Pinellia
Plant Type:
BULBSPinellia pedatisecta - Fan-leaf Green Dragon is an easy-to-grow Arum. Plant it and watch it go! In divided sets of 3 per stem are the glossy green leaves. Fifteen-inch or so green flowers arise above the leaves over a long period in summer looking like tall, elegant and refined Jack-in-the-pulpits. Fan-leaf Green Dragon self-sows readily in bony shade... In fact, it has self-sown at Quackin' Grass in the most unlikely places and seems to thrive - even in our full blazing sun xeric garden. But generally plant Fan-leaf Green Dragon in well-drained soil sited in part shade to sun. For years we tried to grow these in pots that were kept too constantly moist. Learn from our mistake. Pinellia pedatisecta is offered by pot grown offset.
