Well, I spent the big, big  bucks for only one plant of Black Jack and =
I'm simply assuming that it has the genetic capability for Zone 5, =
because other forms of A. triphyllum go into Zone 2.  I do this because =
I'm a risk taker, because the darker forms of a number of plants are =
hardier than the lighter forms, and because I want it badly.  I will =
bend a knee toward Mother Nature and plant it closer to the house where =
it might get  more heat from the foundation and radiation from the =
basement.   But I anticipate moving it in only a few years.

WOW!!

My husband and I took a whirlwind trip to Iowa/Minnesota this past =
weekend and at one point, landed at Shady Oaks Nursery lab on our way to ==
the gardens of Hans Hansen.  Because I expressed an interest in =
arisaemas, he showed me the process of tissue culturing these plants for ==
the trade.... fascinating.  

First, in the test tube, then in the rooting medium and then in the =
growing houses.  And while at the latter, I ran across A. 'Black Jack'.  ==
WOW.  This is a stunning plant.  The leaves and the spathe are inky =
black.

The catalog suggests hardiness from Zone 6.  I'm hoping someone from Z ==
5 will tell me they've been successful, although I don't mind =
experimenting myself.
