Arisaema sazensoo


('productnameshort')

Arisaema sazensoo is a cool cobra lily w/ a large, purple spathe hood hangs down like a bowing monk or an elephant seal.


Description:
The large, purple spathe hood of Arisaema sazensoo droops way down over the tube. The species name comes from "zazen" which refers to a Japanese Buddhist meditation as the flower recalls a bowed monk meditating. When I look at it I see an elephant seal. At any rate, this is a dramatic cobra lily that is hard to find but makes a good garden plant. Blooms mid-spring.
