Arisaema serratum var mayebarae
Arisaema serratum var. mayebarae is an amazing variety of the Japanese Arisaema serratum that hails from the region south of Kyushu. Unlike other varieties of Arisaema serratum, var. mayebarae flowers much earlier and has a longer spathe blade. The very dark purple-black spathe, which opens before the foliage unfurls, is quite stunning…the same color your little sister’s face used to turn when you held the plastic bag over her head too long. This easy-to-grow, 3′ tall arisaema makes a stately, stunning statement in the woodland garden.
