Amorphophallus Kiusianus / Kyushu Voodoo Lily - 5 Seeds FRESH 7/20 Zone 7a hardy

Description

Amorphophallus kiusianus is one of the most durable and hardiest of the Amorphophallus species.
It is native to China, Japan, and Taiwan, found growing in semi-shaded to sun exposed plantations, secondary forests, mixed bamboo and broad-leaved forest, and orchards. Amorphophallus comes from the Greek word amorphos and phallos, meaning “malformed penis” referring to the shape of the prominent spadix.
Growing 'Voodoo Lily' is fairly easy. Plant the tuber in moist, organic, well-drained soil, approximately 4” deep in late winter or very early spring. Its tuber must be well below the soil surface, to support the long leaf and flower. It requires minimal fertilizer, once a month or less, and will tolerate occasional overwatering, and occasional neglect. The size of the plant is determined by the size of the tuber.
Growing from seed:
Seeds may be stored in semi-moist peat moss and kept at approximately 45 degrees F. Before sowing, rinse the outer flesh away with water. Keep the temperature in the mid-70’s and soil moist. Be patient, as seedlings may take 6 months or more to germinate.
