Arisaema triphyllum, commonly known as Jack-in-the-Pulpit, is a perennial herb native to the woodlands of eastern North America. It is a fascinating plant known for its distinctive, hooded flowers and attractive foliage, making it a popular choice for shaded or woodland gardens.

This species grows between 30 and 75 cm tall and features large, glossy, palmate leaves that provide a stunning backdrop to its unique flowers.

This species not only adds aesthetic value to gardens but also attracts pollinators, making it an important part of the local ecosystem. It is perfect for woodland gardens, shaded borders, or any area where a cool, damp environment is present.

With its unique flowers and striking foliage, Arisaema triphyllum brings a touch of mystery and elegance to shaded garden spaces, providing interest year-round.
