Jack-in-the-Pulpit - Arisaema triphyllum

This is a unique and intriguing woodland perennial that adds a touch of mystery and drama to any shade garden with its distinctive, hooded green and purple flowers, which appear in spring and resemble a preacher in a pulpit. Thriving in moist, well-drained soil rich in organic matter, it prefers shaded to partially shaded locations, making it an excellent choice for woodland gardens, shaded borders, or naturalized areas. Beyond its fascinating appearance, this plant transitions to produce clusters of bright red berries in late summer, providing visual interest throughout the growing season and attracting birds who feast on its berries, adding to the garden's wildlife appeal.
