Arisaema utile is one of the hardiest of the Arisaemas and is widespread across the Himalayas. It has a broad cobra-shaped hooded spathe similar to Arisaema griffithii to which it is closely related and a long whip-like appendage to the spadix. The spathe is mottled brownish maroon and green with greenish-white stripes on the spathe tube. The foliage is large, glossy and veined and has three leaflets. Often two entire leaves are present at the same time.
Highly recommended. Limited quantities only.
