Jack in the Pulpit

Arisaema triphyllum

Jack-in-the-Pulpit presents one of the most intriguing floral designs found in woodland gardens. Its mysterious hooded structure is marked with dramatic stripes, concealing the actual flowers inside. This plant is a conversation starter that also supports local woodland ecology by providing shelter and food for native insects. In autumn, it produces clusters of bright red berries, adding another layer of visual interest.
