Arisaema, often called cobra lilies, are among the most intriguing and sculptural plants you can grow. Emerging from bulbs in spring, they unfurl dramatic, hooded blooms in shades of purple, green, and cream, each with distinctive striping that gives the plant its serpentine allure. Plant Arisaema bulbs in humus-rich, moist but well-drained soil in dappled shade for a show that feels truly otherworldly. Ideal for woodland gardens or collectors of unusual perennials, cobra lilies bring mystery, sophistication, and a hint of the exotic to any planting scheme.
