Propogation of Jack-in-the-Pulpit plants

17 years ago

I planted some Arisaema seeds last (a year ago) winter and several sprouted last spring. Of these, 4 have made it through the winter outside in 4" pots, and have now sprouted. Should I keep them in the pots for another year before planting them out or would it be better to plant them into the garden this year to get them better established? Or would it be better to just sink the pots into the ground for this year?

What to do?

I think you are ready to plant those right into the garden this year. These guys are SO hardy.

I never plant them in pots to begin with.

I just rescued about 20 jack in the pulpits from my nephew's lot. They are in the process of building a house and the lot was recently cleared. I just transplanted them so I am hoping they will survive. Do they prefer sun or shade?

Moist shade. Pretty adaptable but not full sun.

Shade. I uncovered some last year when I pruned a lilac bush. They were now in direct sun. They shriveled and disintegrated right to the earth. I thought they were gone. This year, they are back in the same spot, and I am leaving the lilacs alone
