    Jack in the Pulpit is a native woodland perennial herb found in central, eastern, and southern United States. It has a unique appearance, with a spadix ("Jack") enclosed in a spathe ("pulpit"). While its hot roots were used traditionally as a folk remedy for colds, it is now primarily grown for its interesting appearance in woodland gardens or shady spots. The document provides cultivation instructions, noting it should be cold-stored and sown indoors in spring before planting seedlings outdoors at 1 inch spacing in a shaded woodland or garden area, where it will grow to only 6 inches tall.
