Arisaema ternatipartitum Shade Perennials Polygonatum odoratum 'Spiral Staircase'This stoloniferous small growing Japanese native cobra lily emerges in spring as a stout purple stalk, topped with a purple hooded flower with cute little ears (resembles a flustered Ross Perot) emerging at about the same time as the 2 glossy three lobed leaves.
