description_en: Genus of about 150 species of spring-or summer-flowering, rhizomatous or tuberous perennials from moist woodland and rocky wasteland. The species in cultivation are mainly from the Himalayas, China, Japan, and North America. They are cultivated for their attractive, sometimes unusually shaped spathes and simple, palmately lobed or palmate, mid-green leaves. Insignificant flowers are borne at the bases of slender, sometimes striking spadices, and are followed by dense clusters of spherical to oblong red berries. They are best grown outdoors in partial shade, but are suitable for a cold greenhouse in frost-prone climates.

hardiness_en: Fully hardy to half hardy.
