Jack in the pulpit (Arisaema triphyllum) brings bold woodland character to the garden with its sculptural, pitcher-like bloom striped in green, maroon, or purple. This early spring-blooming native emerges from a corm and produces one or two tall stems topped with umbrella-like, three-part leaves that give shade beds a lush, tropical look. By late summer, upright clusters of glossy red berries add seasonal interest and support birds.
Ideal for woodland gardens, shade borders, and native plant collections, Arisaema triphyllum prefers dappled shade and consistently moist, humus-rich soil. Deer resistant and long lived, it naturalizes over time, making it a standout choice for ecological landscaping, forest gardens, and low-maintenance native perennial plantings.
