Where to plant Arisaema
Arisaema are best planted in a moist but well-drained, humus-rich soil of chalk, loam or sand within an acidic or neutral PH balance. They are best positioned in a sheltered area of sun or part shade. Arisaema are well suited to flower beds and borders within a tropical style garden as well as underplanting of shrubs and roses.

How to care for Arisaema
