Arisaema (Cobra Lilies)

Dragon Plants or Cobra Lilies with main distribution in Asia (China). Aroids which are rather new to public cultivation and only about ten (out of some 100) are sometimes available at specialty nurseries. All Arisaema species offered on this page may be successfully grown in the open garden where they receive enough moisture in summer and are sheltered from moisture in winter. Plant depth is three times their size. Sow seeds in any rich peaty soil at a minimum of some 15°C, germination is irregular and might start well after only some 2 weeks or may need up to 3 months and more. If seeds have not germinated after three months, keep pots outside in a protected spot during winter. Seeds will then germinate by the end of spring. Keep seedlings in their pots for 2 years in a partially shaded spot. Stop watering by mid September or as soon as leaves start to yellow.

For detailed information on sowing and cultivation of Cobra Lilies please have a look at this website: "The Genus Arisaema" (www.arisaema.info)
