I grew Arisaema consanguineum from seed. They germinate fairly easily
for such an exotic looking plant. Mine have been outside in pots
through the last two or three winters and have survived. I'm just
waiting to see whether they get through this one. I'm reasonably
hopeful as I've now planted a couple in a fairely sheltered spot.
They haven't flowered (if that's the right word!) yet though. No good
if you're in a hurry.
