Notes
Himalayan cobra lily (Arisaema consanguineum) is a perennial for borders and low maintenance gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 6, or down to -10°F (-23°C). This plant likes part sun and average to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. Its tall leaves form umbrellas of many leaflets that rise up through hostas and ferns. In colder climates you can grow it in pots and keep it just above freezing in winter.
Pairs well with Aureola Japanese forest grass, Wood sorrel, and Climbing hydrangea.
