Arum Italicum
M5161
Description
Known as ‘Lords and Ladies’, Arum ‘Italicum’ is a sculptural groundcover plant with year-round garden interest.
Large, waxy, spear-shaped foliage with a marbled surface is held by the plants all year round, complemented with greenish-white hooded flower spathes in spring, and brilliant orange-red (toxic) berries in autumn.
This fascinating, clump-forming perennial is perfect for naturalising in shaded or sunny areas and prefers damp, well-drained fertile soil.
Arum ‘Italicum’ has been granted a prestigious Award of Garden Merit for its winning attributes and long season of interest.
Plant as a striking, enchanting green carpet in a woodland garden, or beneath a hedge or large shrub.
Care Guide
Plant tubers 15 cm deep and space them 20 cm apart to allow room for healthy growth and natural spread. If the growing tip is difficult to identify, plant the tubers sideways or with the crown facing upwards — they will naturally orient themselves correctly as growth begins.
