Notes

Cobra lily (Arisaema intermedium) is a perennial for woodland gardens, shade gardens, and container gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 7, or down to 0°F (-18°C). This plant likes part sun to full shade and moist soil. Green spathes sometimes have a purple flush and subtle white striping. A long, thread-like spadix appendage often hangs twisted from the leaflets. Unwound, it can be more than three feet long.

Pairs well with Sedge, Snake's head, and English ivy.
