Titan arum

Where to see titan arum at Kew Gardens

Kew now has several specimens of titan arum, one of the reasons we have had such an unprecedented number of flowerings in the last few years. You can almost always see a plant in leaf in the wet tropics zone of the Princess of Wales Conservatory.

Such is the unpredicatable nature of the plant that we cannot tell whether it will be months, years or even decades before we next see a titan arum flower. However, we now have a large number of plants, and as such flowerings have become a remarkably common occurrence - we have seen more than three times as many titan arums flower at Kew in the last six years than in the previous 120 years!
