Amorphophallus bulbifer

I suspect it was wet + cold that killed the bulbifer I had outdoors, so 
I think your idea is good. Conveniently, bulbifer produces those 
propagules on the leaf so I had a couple of small ones to keep in the 
greenhouse as backup.

I know there's considerable variation in hardiness of different strains 
of Dracunculus vulgaris, but so far every strain of Amorph. konjac I've 
tried has been hardy here, in almost all locations and soils short of 
waterlogged. They'll survive in strong sun, but seem to be much happier 
here in half shade or even more.
