Asian Jack-in-the-pulpits continue to increase in popularity. The "flowers" (inflorescences) consist of a club-shaped or whip-like appendage (the spadix) inside a hooded tube (the spathe). These are, respectively, the "jack" and the "pulpit". They are variously beautiful or bizarre, but they always elicit comment in the garden. Tall species are great "pop-up" plants among shade perennials such as hostas and ferns. Shorter species are good rock garden plants, or they may be used as specimens or massed in the shade garden. All can produce showy red or orange heads of fruit in late summer to fall.
