The blue-purple (RHS 82A)
Amorphophallus konjac 'Nightstick' is a 1994 Plant Delights/JLBG introduction of a special black-stalked selection that we acquired in 1992 from aroid collector Tom McLamb
well-drained soils produce the best flowering
deer-resistant North American native that is always a perennial favorite (pardon the pun) for the border or the wild garden
the 6' long stalks are topped with 20" long terminal spires of bright red
Rhapidophyllum hystrix Amaryllids The blue-purple (RHS 82A)The hardiest of palms, Rhapidophyllum hystrix is a slow growing Southeast US (Florida, Georgia, Alabama, and South Carolina) native that has withstood 9 degrees F here with NO damage (without protection or special siting). We expect established needle palm specimens should handle 20 degrees F. This short trunked, 8' tall x 12' wide, clump forming, hardy palm has typical cut leaf, green palm foliage and sharp "needles" at the base to protect the seeds
