Arisaema triphyllum 'Black Jack' (Black Jack-in-the-Pulpit)

Part Sun to Light ShadeZone: 6-9, possibly colder 12" tall Origin: USA

I fell to my knees when I first saw this plant at Woodlanders Nursery in SC, and visitors to our garden have continued this tradition. Discovered by native plant guru Bob McCartney on one of his many jaunts through FL, this selection of our native Jack-in-the-pulpit has shiny black foliage with a few green veins. For us, it emerges slightly later (mid-May) than most A. triphyllum. The 1' tall clumps are adorned in late spring with "pulpits" that also have a stunning black spathe. We have found that A. 'Black Jack' also spreads slightly by underground stolons. To be able to finally share this with the public is truly a dream come true. Pot size: 24 fl. oz (709.77 ml)
