Pinellia hybrid

From: grsjr at juno.com (George R Stilwell, Jr.) on 1997.01.14 at 15:35:09(124) Pam Bagget reports, in the Jan '97 issue of The Hardy Plant Soc., Mid-Atlantic Group, that a hybrid Pinellia, P. 'Polly Spout', is available from We-Du Nursery. " Woodland gardeners will be interested in Pinellia 'Poly Spout', also from We-Du Nurseries. A hybrid which appeared in their nursery several years ago, it is probably a cross between P. tripartita and P.pedatisecta. As members of the Arum family, pinellias produce intriguing spathes ... for several months of the year. 'Poly Spout' has an erect green spathe, purplish inside, with protruding green spadix ... It grows to nearly 2 feet in height. I've saved the best news for last: while most Pinellia are prolific seeders, 'Poly Spout' has proven to be sterile. Zone 7b, at least." I question the Zone 7b. Both parents grow well in 7a and probably in 6 for that matter. To top it off, We-Du is certainly not in Zone 7b. OK, Aroid collectors, have at it. Ray +More GRSJr@Juno.com

From: Ellen Hornig <hornig at Oswego.EDU> on 1997.01.14 at 23:58:00(127) Pinellias tripartita, tripartita `Atropurpurea', and pedatisecta seem to be perfectly hardy here in zone 5 (I've overwintered tripartita in containers, in hoophouses, frozen solid as a rock, and had virtually no losses). Haven't tried P. cordata that way yet - too few, too pretty. But I will... Ellen Hornig +More PS - my 1997 price list (Seneca Hill Perennials) is ready to mail. If you'd like a (free) copy, and didn't get one last year, please e-mail me PRIVATELY at hornig@oswego.edu. For the curious: only about 8" of snow here....nothing like the 8 FEET that fell on Montague, approximately 30 miles to the northeast. We count our blessings...

From: "Dr. Victor G. Soukup" <soukupvg at UCBEH.SAN.UC.EDU> on 1997.01.15 at 16:47:49(137) Dear Aroid-lers, All three easy Pinellias (pedatisecta, ternata, and tripartita) grow and seed abundantly in my north-facing woodland in Wyoming, a north side suburb of Cincinnati, Zone 6. Pinellia "Poly Spout" joined them 16 months ago and also grew, flowered, and prospered. However, in contrast to some earlier reports, Amorphophallus konjac did not make it outside several years ago. Perhaps my plants came from a much warmer growing region. Vic Soukup
