Sauromatum venosum ‘Indian Giant’

£15.00

Known as the ‘Giant Voodoo Lily, this spectacular hardy aroid originates from the Himalayas. Sauromatum venosum ‘Indian Giant’ is an unusual plant that produces a single thick leaf stem that is silvery green in colour and mottled with dark patches. The large single leaf is very striking and can grow to over 60cm across. As if this stunning foliage wasn’t enough, mature corms will produce a bizarre deep purple flower that emanates a ‘perfume’ to attract flies for pollination. Fortunately, Sauromatum venosum ‘Indian Giant’ flowers only last 2-3 days and are quickly followed by their impressive foliage.
