The unusual and unique Jack-in-the-pulpit is an excellent perennial woodland garden plant.
The Latin name is Arisaema triphyllum. This plant is easy to recognize, even when not in bloom, due to the foliage combination of 3 leaves.
These lovelies are easy to cultivate under the right conditions. They require no care at all once established. Jack will thrive in most soils, moist to dry, as long as it’s shady. They will happily accept seasonally wet locations.
The good news is that deer will not eat this plant. Having said that, neither should you or anybody else! It is poisonous.
Jack blooms for a long time; May through June in my neck of the woods, (which is considered a ‘zone 3’ USDA), ‘zone 4 A’ in Canada.
This exquisite native woodland perennial is a treat to see every spring! For more information on this lovely fellow, I’d recommend a visit to:

Great post! Reblogged. ☺
Thank you for sharing! I really appreciate it. 🙂
You’re very welcome! ☺
Awesome! We have these all over here in the Western North Carolina mountains! They are so cool. The bright red berries that they grow are also very pretty.
Wonderful! I bet it’s lovely there in the mountains. And, yes, the berries are so pretty. I’ll have to try to snap a photo this year. Thanks!
