Arisaema erubescens
This is the genuine article, endemic to Nepal. Many Arisaema offered as “erubescens” are in fact reddish forms of A. consanguineum. One obvious way to distinguish erubescens is that it is stoloniferous, whilst consanguineum does not produce stolons. Erubescens remains relatively scarce in cultivation, despite being an “easy” species.
The whole plant has a reddish-pink tinge to it - except for the tubers which are a distinctive blue-green colour. It is easy to grow in a shaded spot in the garden and, being from high altitude, is totally hardy outside in the UK. Stolons are produced and, if it is happy with the conditions, you will notice “daughter” plants popping up near to the parent. If grown in a pot, allow extra room for these stolons to develop.
These tubers are 30-40mm diameter and should flower after one more year of growing, as well as producing a number of stolons (i.e. new plants).
