Hardiest Arisaemas

[Mike Slater]

Although we certainly not the coldest spot where members of the AEG
live, we almost never have good reliable snow cover and the soil often
freezes 18 inches (0.5 m) deep. We are zone 6, but we have had -15 deg
F, in recent years. The Arisaemas which have been thriving for us
(besides A. triphyllum and A. Draconitum) are Aa. sikokianum, ringens,
amurense, and heterophyllum.  Arum italicum `Pictum' (or what is the
proper name now?) is quite hardy too.

These are all I have tried in the ground so far and they all seem quite
reliable. The hardy Arisaema list on the Arisaema wep page has many more
to tempt me in the future.
