Cultivation instructions:
Indoor planting: Not suitable for growing indoors but can be started off in pots inside. Once you see growth move outside.
Planting outside: Ensure they are planted quite deep as doing this will protect the tubers and rhizomes from frost. Arisaema are happiest in soil conditions that are neutral to slightly acid. Cultivate soils to a depth of 10cms if possible and add plenty of grit and humus matter to the soil. Plant bulbs so that they are 5cms below the soil surface.
Can also look great if grown with martagon lilies, hostas or wood anemones.
Care tips:
Remember to mark the position you plant them in as they can easily get lost.
Using bulb starter or root grow when first planting will help them to establish for future years flowering.
