I can't speak for Hotlanta but sikokianum here does really well as a gard=en
plant - but it MUST have perfect drainage. I have numerous plants,
including flowering seedlings from my originals, all in the garden. They
are on a 40 degree S facing slope and the soil is perfectly draining. Th=ey
are in light to medium high shade and can get fairly dry - I only water t=he
woodland when indicator plants like Asarum canadense have wilted. Some o=f
them are pictured on my web site - URL below. They can go dormant fairly
early if they get really dry, but a few other arisaema do that anyway. T=he
sikokianum emerged about 2-3 weeks ago and are in full flower now. They =set
seed well last year and the seedlings are already up and running.
I'll post some pictures of unidentified/lost label arisaemas shortly and
would be grateful for help with ID.
