This is a very rare tropical species from Northern Thailand brought to us by Alan Galloway that looks similar to Amorphophallus krausei and like A. krausei and another Northern Thailand species Amorphophallus thaiensis appears to like growing in my 45–60-degree greenhouse until January or beyond before going dormant and then may go dormant for only a month or two before starting up again. This is very different from the majority of my Amorphophallus, which go dormant from October or November to May or June. This is why I offer these bulbs from January sometimes through August when other Amorphophallus bulbs have grown into plants and are no longer available until mid-fall. I prefer to grow these in a pot rather than in the garden during the summer, so I can bring them in during the fall and winter and enjoy them indoors in a cool room or heated greenhouse. I give them better drainage by mixing 1 to 2 parts perlite with 1 part potting mix. It is a rather petite Amorphophallus compared to its larger cousins with an umbrella-like leaf topping a 24" tall grey-green stalk adorned with brown to black blotches. Its flower is kind of cute, and you don't have to wait years for it to flower, as you would with an Amorphophallus like A. konjac. My wife thinks most Amorphophallus look evil and ugly, but not this one due to its smaller and relatively pleasant-looking spathe, cream/white on the inside, brown on the outside with an erect white spadix peeking out. Extremely deer and varmint resistant. It produces several offset bulbs next to the mother bulb each Fall that will become new plants in the Spring.
