Pinellia Green Dragon

Bright green spathes with a long, long spadix!

An easy care member of the Aroid family. The unusual flowers appear from early summer. The narrow green spathe opens like a hooded dragon with a long, upturned green spadix that is darker at the base. The long spadix is used by the plant to lure pollinating insects. The flowers open above the leaves in summer. Each spathe is around 7cm and the spadix up to 20cm.

Pinella 'Green Dragon' has handsome, trisect (single leaf divided into three lobes) foliage. It will take around a season to settle in and start flowering. Once it starts it will keep on for years to come and gradually form a clump.

Plant Pinella 'Green Dragon' in humus rich, moist, well drained soil. They thrive in a part shade or filtered light position. Water to establish and keep moist in active growth.
