Jack-in-the-Pulpit (Arisaema triphyllum) 3-pack of pots
Can’t be shipped.
Jack-in-the-Pulpit is a classic woodland wildflower. The green nodding flower head is streaked with maroon colors. The flowers resemble a person in a sheltered pulpit. After blooming the leaves go dormant and the flower head turns into a bright red bundle of berries. It forms a decent sized clumps after a few years and can even spread by seed. It’s a wonderful plant for shade gardens. These are second-year plants that were started the year before, put into dormancy, and then brought out of dormancy and sold (Jack-in-the-Pulpit only grows 1 or 2 leaves the first year).

Design Tips
Jack-in-the-Pulpit is a versatile plant for shady gardens. It grows quickly and flowers in the spring, and then the leaves go dormant in the summer, leaving a stem with a bundle of bright red berries on top. Jack-in-the-Pulpit (Arisaema triphyllum) doesn’t spread much and is a good companion for many of the other conservative woodland flowers.
Great native plant choice for the Minnesota Lawns to Legumes grant program!
