Arisaema sikokianum tosaense Lilium provided they garden in anThis rare offering is a cross of the Japanese arisaemas, Arisaema tosaense and Arisaema sikokianum. The offspring have a dark purple or green veined spathe (hood) that resembles Arisaema sikokianum except for the extended hood tip from Arisaema tosaense. The "jack" spadix is intermediate between both parents, as is the 5 7 leaflet foliage. This offering of flowering sized plants is extremely limited and will quickly sell out.
