stormy, no invasive tendencies whatsoever with these Arisaema, which probably explains why they're so expensive! The sikokianum is painfully slow in producing offsets but when they do they basically stay attached to the 'mother' bulb until you decide to dig them up, remove the small bulblets and plant them where you want them. The ringens on the other hand readily produces offsets but they're so small they can take years before they will produce 'blooms'. One of the ringens we have planted in the gardens now has about a dozen or so stalks after 5 years and is a very showy clump when in bloom. This picture was taken 3 years ago - two years after planting! One of the traits I particularly like with this Arisaema is the glossy foliage :)
