Arisaema amurense, commonly known as Amur Jack In The Pulpit, is a perennial herb that can be deciduous or semi-deciduous depending on the climate. It is native to forest understories and mountain slopes in East Asia, including regions of China, Korea, Japan, and the Russian Far East. This plant typically grows to a height of 2 feet (0.6 meters) and a width of 3 feet (0.9 meters), featuring a distinctive inflorescence with a hooded spathe that is green striped with purple, and a central spadix. The flowering period occurs in late spring to early summer, and the flowers are often hidden beneath the foliage, creating a subtle but intriguing visual effect. After flowering, it produces clusters of bright red berries that are attractive but toxic if ingested.

Amur Jack In The Pulpit is valued for its unique flower structure and is often used in woodland gardens, shade gardens, and as a specimen plant in areas that mimic its native habitat. It prefers partial to full shade and requires consistently moist, well-drained soil rich in organic matter. While it is generally low-maintenance, it can be susceptible to slug damage and root rot if the soil is too wet. It is not commonly affected by serious pests or diseases. Gardeners should be aware that all parts of the plant contain calcium oxalate crystals and can be irritating if ingested or handled without gloves.CC BY-SA 4.0
