Very disappointed. Field of plants does not match the description or the photo, not worth the price paid. I got a refund and would not recommend it. Find it at nurseries where they have it in their garden for a lower price.

Description
The Arisaema ciliatum is a lovely graceful species, probably the easiest to cultivate, forming in early summer, upright flowers striped black and white, carried on stiff stems at a height of 60cm (24in).
In bloom in early summer, the Arisaema ciliatum reaches 50 to 60cm (20 to 24in) in height, its spathe (the name given to the flowers in this family) is black striped with white. Decorative, its leaves are whorled: they are composed of 9 to 12 light green leaflets, carried at the end of the stem and joined on the same axis, giving the impression of a "miniature palm tree".
Its corms (bulbs) are milky white to brown and very round, they form underground stolons and spread in the soil. Expect 2-3 years to obtain a beautiful shrub of 10 to 15 flowers.
The Cobra lily is a type of plant that belongs to the same family as Arums. It is often referred to as the "Cobra lily" due to its upright spathe that resembles a cobra. Despite its unique appearance, it is not commonly used in gardens. There are currently over 150 species of Cobra lily, most of which are native to Asia. Over half of these species can be easily grown in temperate zones like ours. These plants prefer wooded areas with cool, humus-rich soil, but they do not like waterlogged soil.
Plant Arisaema ciliatum in a cool environment together with bamboos (Fargesia), hostas and ferns.

Planting and care
If you want to care for arisaemas, you don't have to be too careful with them. They don't need much, but they do need some things. They like soil with lots of humus, which should be light and fresh but can drain well. In summer, keep the soil moist, but don't let it dry out. In winter, don't make it too wet, or the bulb might rot if it's humid. They like to be in the shade, near big trees facing west. If the soil is heavy, mix 1/3 leaf compost and 1/3 non-calcareous sand with your topsoil to make it better, then plant the bulb on a bed of perlite. Put it about 6-8cm (2-3in) deep and cover it with your substrate. If you're planting in a pot, use a wide, shallow clay pot with a substrate of half-perlite or vermiculite and half-leaf compost. Bury the bulbs 6-8cm (2-3in) deep in the soil and keep it moist but not waterlogged. In winter, keep the pot in a frost-free place with a little coolness, and give it some water every 15 days. You can start watering again in early spring, around April, once the bulbs start growing.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, etc.)
It will vary according to where you live:- In zones 9 to 10 (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), flowering will occur about 2 to 4 weeks earlier.
- In zones 6 to 7 (Germany, Poland, Slovenia, and lower mountainous regions), flowering will be delayed by 2 to 3 weeks.
- In zone 5 (Central Europe, Scandinavia), blooming will be delayed by 3 to 5 weeks.
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, United Kingdom, Ireland, Netherlands).
It will vary according to where you live:
- In Mediterranean zones (Marseille, Madrid, Milan, etc.), autumn and winter are the best planting periods.
- In continental zones (Strasbourg, Munich, Vienna, etc.), delay planting by 2 to 3 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 2 to 4 weeks in autumn.
- In mountainous regions (the Alps, Pyrenees, Carpathians, etc.), it is best to plant in late spring (May-June) or late summer (August-September).
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
