Sauromatum giganteum (syn. Typhonium giganteum)

50cm, a rarely seen, fully winter hardy tuberous aroid from mountain woods in the Yunnan province, Chinese. it is a showy species with large yellowish green, very ornamental, broad oval arrowhead-shaped leaves, reaching up to 30cm in length, and a strongly "perfumed" narrow, dark maroon spathe and spadix. For any rich, well drained soil in a sunny to partially shaded spot in the garden with some good winter protection (e.g. a thick dry mulch layer). Plants come into growth very late in the year (around end of June to July in Central Europe). In cooler climates the growing cycle may be too short so that the corm cannot completely ripe in autumn, and are better grown in pots under frostfree conditions. If grown in pots keep dormant plants dry in winter at some 5°C. USDA Climate Zone 7. VI-VII.
