Our Botanic Garden is now closed for the Winter. We'll post here when we reopen in Spring.
This member of the arum family grows in moist, shady, woodland places and is a small cousin of the Arisaema candidissimum that is also in our garden. Its common name is mouse plant because it's protective cover over the flower looks just as though a tiny mouse has just dived for cover, head first into each flower.
Cultivation: it is a fully hardy, spreading perennial that grows best in rich, fertile, woodland conditions. Propagate by seed in spring or by division in autumn or winter.
