Closed
Current Bid: $68
(Pot Sz: 1 gal)
Common name: devil's tongue
¤ bulb to 4'
¤ plant in sun
¤ hardy to zone 7
¤ purple and white flowers in spring - summer
¤ blue/pink fruit in late summer
¤ deer resistant
Not the largest but one of the hardiest of the famous “Corpse Flowers”, this species is reliable in well-drained sites outdoors in zone 7. It is among the few species in the genus that is self-fertile, it will reliably produce an attractive infructescence of pink berries that eventually shift to sapphire blue when ripe. At least four well-started plants in a gallon pot, probably a few years away from flowering… if not sooner.
