I don't think you would really want any of this one! I have lots of Arisaema of different kinds, mainly wild, and although the scape of this plant does resemble the nice ones, the leaf is quite different. I agree, it is undoubtedly a relative of the desirable ones, but this one is taking over one azalea bed, and threatening a tree peony. If allowed to grow, the leaves get to about a foot tall, and seem to go mainly by rhizomes. I saw one place in our town where an entire bed about 15 feet in diameter had been overrun with that plant, and it did not look pretty!
