Italian Arum

This selection has a reverse growing season, it emerges in fall with striking arrow-shaped leaves marbled with silver-grey veins that persist through winter and into spring, then flowers, sets seed, and goes dormant in summer, provides winter groundcover interest at exactly the time when most perennials have disappeared.

• Glossy arrow-shaped leaves with distinctive silver-grey marbling emerge in fall and persist through winter, providing groundcover when most perennials are absent
• White spathe flowers in spring are followed by upright spikes of bright orange-red berries that persist after the foliage dies back
• Summer-dormant; plant alongside summer perennials to fill the gap left by its dormancy
• Excellent winter interest plant; highly toxic to pets and humans, berries especially dangerous
