Arisaema triphyllum 

Part Shade to Shade

Zone: 3 - 8

Height: 12-18"

This plant is found scattered throughout various terrains in the southern Appalachians, but it can almost always be found near waterfalls or where water is running or splashing. Three fairly large leaves radiating out from the top of the stalk are usually the most noticeable feature and the flower is often hidden beneath. The flowers appear through the spring and into the summer. Later in the summer, the flower is replaced by a black seed cluster that turns red by autumn.
