Amorphophallus konjac
Voodoo Lily
Well, what can I say here? The
flower is pretty well described by the genus name only to add that it has
a 'surprising' scent. The flower blooms only when the corm is mature
usually in the spring but sometimes later and occasionally earlier. (It
blooms when it wants to). The plant itself is a very cool looking single
leaf that could be described as a fleshy palm tree with boa skin. Why grow
it? Because it's cool and funky. To overwinter you can leave it outside in
the ground in Z7 or higher but it comes back usually pretty small. In
cooler climates or if you want to get it really big let the frost hit it
then simply dig it and store dry until it starts to sprout again or leave
it dry in its container in any frost free location and begin watering
again when you start to see growth in the spring. It's a fun plant and
always worth some lively conversation. Part sun. Height 1-5' depending on
corm size.
