Amorphophallus titanum
Amorphophallus titanum, commonly known as the corpse flower, is a botanical marvel famous for having the world’s largest unbranched inflorescence, which can reach an astonishing 8 feet tall. The massive bloom features a deep red, vase-like spathe surrounding a towering central spadix—making it one of the most spectacular and fragrant (or infamous) flowering events in the plant kingdom.
After flowering, the plant produces a single, giant leaf atop a mottled stalk, which can grow up to 15 feet tall. This towering leaf structure resembles a small tree and serves as the plant’s photosynthetic engine during its vegetative phase.
Following pollination, A. titanum forms a seed stalk up to 6 feet tall, packed with large, vivid red berries—a sight almost as striking as the bloom itself. Unlike many other Amorphophallus species, this one may remain active for 2–3 years before going dormant.
Amorphophallus titanum thrives in very warm, tropical conditions, and while challenging to grow, it is a prized specimen for botanical gardens and adventurous collectors.
Seeds are sold in packs of 1. Seeds are shipped in humid vermiculite.
