Description
The Arisaema concinnum, known as the cobra plant, is a cousin of the arums. It is an original bulbous plant, very resistant to cold, with exceptional flowering.
The Arisaema concinnum belongs to the Araceae family. It is native to the Himalayas. The cobra plant rises up to 80 cm (32in) above the ground and develops early in the season. The unique floral stem emerges early in June, producing a flower head made up of a central spadix of tiny fleshy flowers, surrounded by a funnel-shaped spathe of dark purple colour striped with light green, whose exterior is lined with a similar colour, but paler. This floral stem is later surrounded by a single leaf with a tropical appearance, like a Chinese umbrella, formed by leaflets arranged in a 360° (680°F) wheel, bright green with a lighter middle zone. The flower does not emerge on the same petiole as the leaf. The flowers are dioecious, they are either male or female, but only one sex is found per plant. This species produces red seeds at the end of the season.
The flower head resembling the head of a cobra gave this arisaema its English name of Cobra lily. During the summer, they become dormant as an elongated cylindrical tuber.
Arisaema concinnum is an intriguing plant that can be grown in cool and well-drained soil, preferably in light and humid undergrowth or at the edge of undergrowth where it can get ample sunlight without scorching. It can be cultivated to make beautiful, unique and eye-catching potted plants. It goes well with other plants like ferns, epimediums, Begonia grandis, rhododendrons, azaleas, and oriental lilies.
In Latin, concinnum means "pleasing". All parts of this plant are toxic.

Planting and care
Arisaema concinnum is a plant that prefers fertile, well-drained and moist soil with a slightly acidic to neutral pH level. It grows best in a shady yet bright location and can tolerate partial or dappled shade, as well as full light, without direct sunlight. Water the plant regularly, but only a little during the growing season. In colder areas, protect the base during winter by covering it with straw or plastic sheeting. Although this plant can withstand freezing weather and is hardy down to -20 °C (1°F), it still needs protection in cold temperatures. To prevent moisture buildup around the roots during winter, maintain careful soil drainage. For the best results, use garden soil enriched with a little compost as the substrate.

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.
