(Amorphophallus konjac)
Amorphophallus konjac
This unusual hardy tuberous aroid has one giant divided leaf on top of a 4-5' tall, green and purple mottled, fleshy stalk (petiole). When old enough, the tuber produces a fascinating 5' flower (early May, before the leaf emerges) resembling a giant vase made from the purple vinyl used for cheap '70s car seats. The vase (spathe) is home to a 3' purple spadix that sits atop a 2' speckled petiole...gather your neighbors for the fragrant flowering ritual. After flowering, the plant may rest for months before the leaf emerges in late June. The mother tuber will form offsets, eventually making a giant clump...very exotic and unusual! Amorphophallus konjac has long been prized medicinally for its weight loss properties and is now used in many weight loss products. - See more at: http://www.plantdelights.com/Amorphophallus-konjac-for-sale/Buy-Voodoo-Lily/Amorphophallus-konjac/#sthash.1SwE6smt.dpuf

Amorphophallus konjac is a highly ornamental Aroid with one large divided leaf on an incredibly beautiful and unique stem (petiole) that can reach four feet tall. These grow from a subterranean tuber. The foliage is amazing enough but when the bulb is large enough to flower, you will be blown away!

The flower is dark maroon chocolate with a large spathe in the middle typical of most Arums. On the inside, they contain ridges or warts, functioning as insect traps. The smell can be unpleasant for a day or two as these plants are pollinated by insects thinking they in for a carrion treat! Colorful berries are displayed afte the flower has been pollinated. We sell these rare and unusual plants in 4" pots. 



Amorphophallus are exotic plants in the aroid family, which includes popular woodland garden perennials such as arisaema (jack-in-the-pulpit) and dracunculus. The name amorphophallus comes from the Latin amorpho (deformed) and phallus (a male anatomical member)...in other words, the flower resembles a deformed male sex organ...I'm not making this up. While several amorphophallus have proven to be winter-hardy, flowering shade plants for us (e.g., Amorphophallus konjac), others are grown as potted curiosities (e.g., Amorphophallus atroviridis).

Each amorphophallus tuber produces one inflorescence, some of which can get quite large...i.e., Amorphophallus titanum. The flowers are renowned for their odor, which attracts flies for shady sexual purposes. The odor, which in some species is quite noticeable for about a half day, is the basis for great storytelling. After flowering, each amorphophallus tuber will rest for at least a month (or occasionally an entire year) before producing a single, deer-resistant leaf.

Larger tubers will keep their foliage longer into the season than smaller ones, due to the large amount of energy required to support this oversized shade garden plant. In the garden, we recommend planting the amorphophallus tuber so that its top is 4-6" below the soil surface...slightly deeper in colder climates. When amorphophallus tubers get large, they tend to form a cup that holds water...bad in areas with cold winter rains. To prevent rot we recommend you dig your amorphophallus after it has gone dormant in late summer and turn it sideways so that water does not collect in the winter. Old tubers die and regenerate each season, so keep the foliage healthy and growing.

In places where they are not hardy perennials, amorphophallus can be brought in for the winter. Some amorphophallus tubers can be stored dry while others must remain potted (see individual descriptions). While the flowers may be produced in early spring, amorphophallus foliage rarely sprouts before mid- to late June, so don't panic when you don't see any signs of life in early spring.
