Japanese cobra lily - Arisaema ringens

I hate to knock our native Arisaemas, but I think this cobra lily is spectacular. It hasn't fully opened, but I just had to take a picture. They were pricey - $20 each! - but I had to have them. I'm a little worried about getting them through the winter; supposedly they don't tolerate wet winters well. I may just dig them up.

It is very lovely and unusual. I would dig it up in the winter to be on the safe side. It would be a shame to loose it.

It is a showy and unusual one. I would say dig it too. To be on the safe side.

Can't you grow them in a large pot? then you could move it into a sheltered spot in the rainy season.
