A. sikokianum Life Span

[George R Stilwell, Jr.]

Ray,

Is there any information available on the life span of Arisaema
sikokiana?
What has your experience been?   It  hasn't been as lived as long for me
as
others that I have grown.   Is it shorter lived or am I inept?   Any
information you have would be of interest.

Thanks,

Nina

I had two that were at least 4 years old last year and had been
blooming every year.  Only one of these came up this year.  I'm not
surprised because they are noted for suddenly dissapearing.

Your experience has been much the same as mine.   I haven't had them
linger
for 10 plus years (maybe not even for 8 years) the way other Arisaema
seem
to hang around.

I believe Guy Gusman responded to our pole with the longest life for A.
sikokianum, but I can't find the
message. Generally 7-12 years seems to be the run of responses.
