Hi Mike        In my Zone 5 garden A flavum emerge much later than
A.sikokianum and trriphyllum.  A. flavum also seem to tolerate dryer
conditions than many Arisaema species.  The real danger would be keeping
them too moist especially before the growth shoot emerges.  I would
expect to see staggered emergence in about 8 weeks.
