Item specifics
Plant Name: Amorphophallus, konjac  

It was another great year in the midwest for growing these Voodoo Lily bulbs(Amorphophallus, konjac).

This one measures 10" across and weights 13 pounds unpackaged. The picture of the bulb is the actual one you will receive. This bulb has an irregular shape, more oblong, because this bulb is one half of a bulb that divided this summer. The picture of the plant growing in the garden and blooming in February in the basement are examples of similiar bulbs last year.

Planted this Spring after all fear of frost is gone from your area, this bulb will produce a large 4' to 5' umbrella type stalk and leaf. Dug in the Fall and moved to a cool non-freezing location, this bulb will produce a large flower in February, in the dark, unpotted!
Here's a little info on this unusual plant;
Amorphophallus, or the voodoo lily is native to Asia. Plants in this genus are treated as tender perennials in this part of the midwest (northern Illinois), but in slightly warmer climates (zone 6 to 10) voodoo lilies are perennials. Planting should be done in late spring after ground temperatures have reached at least 60 degrees Fahrenheit. Cover the bulb so that the top is 5 to 7 inches below the soil surface. During the growing season, one giant divided leaf will emerge atop a stalk up to 6 feet tall. After the leaf withers or a frost hits, dig the corm-like bulb removing any loose soil. The unique aspect of Amorphophallus is that you can store the corm-like bulb on a shelf in a cool place such as a basement. Around January or February, a flower stalk will begin to elongate from the same location  as the leaf stalk originated. For a bloom to occur, the corm-like bulb should be the size of a softball or larger. The flower will eventually start to wither. Remove the old bloom, but let the stalk dry before removing. The corm-like bulb will then rest before producing a leaf bud.
This is a 5 day auction, so bid fast and offend!
