Re: Arisaema fimbriatum hardiness

Adam:

I also experimented with Arisaema fimbriatum's hardiness, but on

I actually didn't mean to experiment with it, but accidentally forgot about it. This was in a small pot not much bigger than the tuber, so there wasn't much insulation around it either. It just got done flowering for the first time as well - very neat.
