Super excited. Is this rare to be able to get this purple variety?

Good luck transplanting it. Hopefully the uprooting doesn’t put it through too much shock.
Did the person selling them get it from their garden?
Lucky you! Hopefully it can survive the transition! 💜
Yay!
IIRC Jack does better with transplanting when dormant. You’ve probably already thought about this but just in case: I’d cut the flower off to give it an easier time re-establishing.
Nice! I bought a small one a few weeks ago, but something bit/broke the stem off, so idk if it was in the ground long enough to survive. ðŸ˜
Mine was about 1/10th the size you’ve got!
I never thought of actually planting these. We have them all over the woods at my house. It’s my favorite native flower because it’s so unique, and the kids like to go out on walks with me in the spring specifically to try and spot as many as we can find.
The purple ones are Jack in the Pulpit and the green are called Green Dragon.Â
One of the best plants wooo!!
This is an awesome find. Where I live it’s difficult to find them in the forest, let alone somebody selling bare root specimens them out of their driveway! LOL
Good for you! There are a few spots in my woods that I’d like to try to transplant but I’m nervous they won’t survive and there aren’t very many to begin with.
Out of curiosity, what was he charging? These look very nicely harvested so I’d probably pay more than I should 😂 And is there any special rules to try to follow when planting them? Or just dig a hole double the size the send it!
What’s the best place to plant these in a suburban yard?
I didn’t realize they got so big. I planted some last year and it’s taking a while to get going.
