The Story
Plant Bio
A tuberous, aroid perennial that produces a single, large, intricately divided leaf on a mottled stalk. In spring, before the leaf emerges, it produces a striking inflorescence consisting of a spathe and spadix, which emits a foul odor to attract pollinators. This form is selected for its distinctly glaucous (bluish-waxy) petiole and peduncle, which provides a striking contrast to the green leaf. The spathe is typically white, sometimes with a bluish cast.
