Mini arisaema relative with dramatic arrow shaped leaves up to 6" long, covered in heavy silver veins. Leaves emerge folded, displaying purple undersides. Greenish / yellowish spathe with a long tongue smells like candy. Grows best in a cool, moist, well drained, shaded spot. Goes summer dormant in hotter spots. Spreads slowly from bulbils produced on the bottom of leaves in summer, not aggressive like some other pinellia species. z5
