Amorphophallus impressus Aconitum Each frond bears tiny plantletsAmorphophallus impressus hails from Malawi, Africa where it forms stoloniferous patches of 30" tall stalks. The inflorescences resemble Amorphophallus henryi with the classic phallic spadix emerging from what appears to be a red toilet seat. This particular clone has a darker brown stalk than what we find is typical. Amorphophallus impressus must be kept dry in dormant months.
