Five-leaved Jack-in-the-Pulpit thrives in moist, humus-rich woodland soil in partial to full shade, mimicking its native bottomland forest habitat. Plant the corm 3–4 inches deep and keep the soil evenly moist throughout the growing season. It dies back in winter and re-emerges reliably in spring, so mark its location to avoid disturbing the dormant corm.
