Hardy Aroids

From: "James W. Waddick" <jim-jim at swbell.net> on 1997.10.24 at 03:48:14(1484) Dear friends; This string has turned from Dracunculus to Hardy aroids and I am surprised that no one has mentioned Calla palustris. This gets to considerable size, has impressive flowers and fruits and should be hardy fairly far north - Zone 4, 3?. Then there's Orontium, Peltandra, and Typhonium, Zantedeschia..although the latter two may only have 1 or two species hardy through Zone 6. I'll bet theres other beside the ones we've already talked about Dracunculus, Arum (various species - I have italicum,maculatum, orientale and nigrum in Zone 5/6 - others ? I lost dioscorides ) Symplocarpus, Lysichiton, Arisarum etc. (not to mention Arisaema - that's another robin) +More How far north does anyone grow Helicodiceros ? These are just a start, let's get complete here: Best Jim James W.
