diameter ones.It took a lot of looking on the internet to identify this plant after seeing it growing outside the 14th St. bridge over Mill Creek in Salem, Oregon. Every year we have more of them. I have brought several to San Antonio, TX to see how it will do here.This is such a strange and beatiful plant. Ignore most of the winter. Took blooming bulb when visiting my Mother in Albert Einstein Hospital in Philadelphia. I take some bulbs inside over winter & keep in cool areas for (perhaps) an earlier (February/March) bloom. Then we usually water weekly unless it is unusually hot. I think it is neat and different! This year is the first time we've experienced the malodorous smell. It is now permeating the greenhouse and I've got to get it up outta this room. Leaf is palmate, shaped more like a tiara. A couple were an inch or less deep, but I don't advise it: they top-root so soil above the corm is needed.i got these bulbs caus they were cool.........in a bazzaar wayvoodoo grows well here in lakeland fl. They weren't even very deep. My Mom got it in 1950 at Woolworths. We don't really care for the smell, and since I didn't know any better when planting it, planted it by the front door. What strikes me is that it is growing where the creek often floods and in fact, is between the creek and a stack of sandbags kept on site, yet hasn't washed out and apparently tolerates having periodic wet feet.Purchased this plant four years ago, from a catalog, cannot remember which company. After it was done flowering 12 plants emerged, am moving soon, will divide and take one with me hopefully. The total height of the plant is 38". Naturalizes well and self seeds. I went to the owner of the property and he said the plant had been there for the several years he had lived there but he didn't know what it was and it had always been taken before it completely died down but always came back.
It's well worth having this plant in you garden.
Full sun produces larger bulbs and plants. I gave it fertilizer for perennials along with the rest of my plants, and it grew quite nicely.
Terribly..but its worth the smell to see the opening.
Place in a cardboard box and keep in the basement-not in garage-it may freeze. The spotted (mottled) brown & green stems, along with the tropical-looking leaves make for an attractive plant in the garden or in pots for the summer.
I'll post pics! We have lots of baby's and 2 other 5 in. Somehow they multiply over distances, and we have small specimens growing various places in a 15' radius of the original "dumped" specimens. I called back and told my wife to check the flower and if it was open, to put it outside. Didn't plant the Voodoo Lilly. Sure enough, the dogs settled down and the smell left the basement. It can even grow without soil, its only requirements being a shallow bowl and some water. This spring it came up again and was a little larger. A few minutes after receiving the phone call I remembered the stage of the flower and that the night before it had not opened yet. If it was a dead beast. I've never experienced a fetid smell from the flower. It just showed up three or four years ago. The bloom can get well over a foot tall on this naked bulb, so I put in in a pot of sand to prevent it from falling over and can easily show off the 'Voodoo' by lifting it out of the sand.
Plants take 3 to 4 years to mature from seed increasing in size each year until the leaf is 3 feet tall and as wide. Single leaf stem emerges from each bulb; leaves very late to emerge in spring. I has now spread all over the garden; infact one just bloomed for my sister in Agusta, GA. (I believe they were two year bulbs). The hair raised on their backs and they kept growling at the closet door. Back to Previous Page. To tell you how fast it opened: I planted 2 bulbifers on March 7th, and today, April 8th, they opened fully. I thought it might be related to the anthurium family. I still don't know enough about it to really give any help.Plant the Voodoo late in May or End of second week in June. Nothing happened, but I have to say when I saw it out of the corner of my eye the first time, I jumped a little. For me, the flower lasts maybe 3 days before collapsing.Cold hardy in the south; the foliage has a very lush, tropical appearance. The strong odor (& flies) usually lasts only a day, but, then, this is the height of its' blooming activity as it dies down and collapses within a few more days. It was first introduced in 1815. I watched and admired it every time I walked to the store nearest my apartment and then, after it had flowered and made the seed pod, one of two stalks disappeared. Very interesting to watch it slowly form from a small sprout into a fatter, peanut-shaped living thing, getting fatter and taller until one day it opens up! I'm glad to know what it is now. Easy, exotic, large, attractive all season long. anxious to see blooms next season.
Moist & good drainage. Use of this Web site constitutes acceptance of the Davesgarden.com Whewwwwh, they gotta go! I moved them to my house last spring and they are coming up again this year! Most of the previous comments preceding mine are accurate. She passed away and wanted me to take over the bulbs. It's growth rate is phenomenal.
