Pinellia cordata
Sweet Arum
Plant Type:
SHADE PERENNIALSPinellia cordata – In moist shade this cute little Sweet Arum sports little deep dark purple and green-striped Jack-in-the-Pulpit flowers which emit a delicious fruity fragrance. A long spadix rather like a mouse tail arises out of the mouth of each spathe flower and stands erect. Sweet Arum blooms June and July. The elegant elongated arrowhead-shaped leaves are glossy dark green with distinctive lighter veining and rich deep purple undersides. It will gradually form a colony, reseeding where content. Late season look for little bulbils that form at the point where the pedicel conjoins the leaf. We find it to be a magnificent little aroid. Sweet Arum is a moderate increaser and will make a charming colony in time. If ordered in autumn it will arrived dormant, likely. Grown from bulbils.
