The Story
Plant Bio
Amorphophallus yuloensis is a tuberous perennial native to China. In early spring, a single, foul-smelling inflorescence emerges before the foliage, consisting of a greenish-purple, hooded spathe and a central spadix. This is followed by a solitary, large, umbrella-like leaf on a patterned stalk that persists through summer before going dormant in fall. Cultivar PDN 1 is distinguished by its particularly vigorous growth and unique flower coloration, making it a notable specimen among Amorphophallus species for its ornamental appeal.
