Arisaema grapsospadix Alishan Dwarf Conifers This Heronswood introduction of the(Arisaema A1TW 356) Arisaema grapsospadix 'Alishan' is a 2018 Plant Delights introduction of our 2005 collection from 5,300' elevation on Taiwan's Mt. Ali, where it grew in the dense shade of a forest of cryptomerias. While it has been winter hardy for us in the ground since 2005, our winters are too cold for it to produce flowers, so in cold climates, we recommend growing it in a cold frame or greenhouse. Arisaema grapsospadix goes summer dormant,
