Arum italicum - "Italian Arum"
1-1.5' x 1' Partial shade
Apr-May
Thick, fleshy stalks bearing cream-yellow spadices hooded by showy spathes
appear in the spring followed in the fall by red berries and fresh, arrow-shaped leaves marbled with pale veins. Foliage persists
through the winter then vanishes with the arrival of summer's heat. Plant in humus-rich, moist but well-draining
soil.
