Jack in the Pulpit
Jack-in-the-pulpit (Arisaema triphyllum) is a spring wildflower found in woodlands, growing up to 2 feet tall. It has a unique structure with a 'Jack' (spadix) and 'pulpit' (spathe). The plant first produces male flowers, then becomes hermaphroditic as it ages. By mid-summer, most plants in a group go dormant, but the mature flowering plant produces red berries in late summer. It spreads through cormlets and rhizomes. It thrives in fertile, moist soil with organic matter in partial to full shade. It's slow to grow from seed, taking five years to flower. Typically found in forests, near water, or as a cultivated perennial herb.
