[Arisaema-l] A. griffithii culture

Mon Jan 6 01:11:44 CET 2014

I note Tony Avents comment at Plant Delights:
A. griffithii occurs in open forests to 12,000' in elevation, and for 
this reason, resents summer heat and summer moisture...plant at the base 
of a large tree or shrub for best results. - See more at: 
http://www.plantdelights.com/index/page/add_to_wish_list/product_id/1108/quantity/1#sthash.craXCXEV.dpuf

They currently don't have it...maybe for this reason (they are near 
Raleigh).

Clear skies,
Al
