Meet a PRAIRIE PLANT: Arisaema triphyllum (Jack-in-the-Pulpit)

MEET A PRAIRIE PLANT:
Arisaema triphyllum, the beloved Jack-in-the-Pulpit is easy to grow in woodland or savanna conditions, but will do especially well in locations with seasonal wetness and shade. Unlike many natives, these plants are deer resistant!
Arisaema triphyllum's lifecycle has a lot of curious character. The Jack and Pulpit emerge in the spring. Later during late summer and fall months, its small seeds turn red after ripening while the three leaves remain green.
