Tony,

I understand that with some variegated plants, tissue culture will not =capture the variegation.

If the starting tissue is the green part of the leaf you will get a gre=en plant, if the sample is in the silver part, you get a silver plant.

Do the variegated arisaema follow this rule?

PS
The A. sikokianum was a quick sell-out at the rare plants table at our =spring sale.
