Arisaema sikokianum is an interesting and attractive woodland plant native to the Island of Shikoku in Japan. It has a smoky-purple base, snow-white cup and large hood with purple, green and white stripes. It is often planted in home gardens with shade-loving hostas and bleeding hearts, and has been admired since the eighteenth century. It may cause contact irritation but is of little toxicologic importance.

Germination/Propagation Top

Suggest a correction or add new data!
Sow seeds at 20°C, expecting germination within 3 months without further temperature treatment.
Pulpy Coat Inhibits Germination: Seeds with a pulpy or fleshy outer coat need to have this material removed by soaking and rinsing in clean water daily for about a week. The inhibitory substances in the pulp are thus washed away, and germination rates improve.
sow thinly, keep dry when dormant, leave in pot for 2 years
