Quackin Grass Nursery

Pinellia pedatisecta - My recommendation is to not plant the Fan-leaf Green Dragon iin the northeastern part of North America as this easy-to-grow Arum seeds itself readily in full sun scrabbled-sandy conditions to rich organic soils in full shade. IIn a few short years it will be popping up in all of your garden situations. I do think that P. pedatisecta harbors the potential to escape garden boundaries and firmly plant itself as an invasive from roadsides into northeastern woodlands. I cannot speak to other areas of the country but if one does plant it elsewhere please watch it like a hawk. Plant it and watch it go! In divided sets of 3 per stem are the glossy green leaves. Fifteen-inch or so green flowers arise above the leaves over a long period in summer looking like tall, elegant and refined Jack-in-the-pulpits. Fan-leaf Green Dragon self-sows readily in bony shade... In fact, it has self-sown at Quackin' Grass in the most unlikely places and seems to thrive - even in our full blazing sun xeric garden. But generally plant Fan-leaf Green Dragon in well-drained soil sited in part shade to sun. For years we tried to grow these in pots that were kept too constantly moist. Learn from our mistake. Pinellia pedatisecta is offered by pot grown offset.
