Welcome to your Sutton Farms!
Jack-In-The-Pulpit
Arisaema triphyllum
Jack-in-the-Pulpit flowers in spring to early summer and can be found in rich, low woods, often near streams.
Although it is sometimes called the Indian turnip, this plant is not
edible! A. triphyllum, as well as all other members of the Arum family,
contain minute crystals of calcium oxalate scattered throughout the fresh
tissue. Calcium oxalate is intensely irritating and imparts a strong
burning sensation when the plant is ingested. With proper preparation,
however, Native Americans were able to remove this toxicity and use the
root as a source of flour.
For a truly stunning effect, plant in groups of five or more, one foot apart. After the classic spring flowers have gone by, the bright red berries that appear in early autumn are as showy as any flower. Highly adaptable, Jack in the Pulpit grows in almost any rich woodland soil, even in wet, swampy soils. Not recommended for dry sandy soils. Grows one to two feet tall.
