Arum apulum x italicum sold out
This is a rare but naturally occuring hybrid found in Italy. A strong grower it forms vigorous clumps of deep green, arrow-shaped leaves followed by very large green-tinted, white spathes and a central yellow spadix. An excellent and easy large Arum for good soil in sun.
Grown from seed there may be some variation in the the amount of purple staining to the interior of the pale green spathe which contrasts with the darker spadix, but nonetheless this is a pleasant and relatively undemanding species. Happy outside in a sunny, well-drained position.
Another that given a sheltered position in a sunny, well-drained soil ( raised bed, etc ) will reward with stronger growth and more flower-power. Palest lime-green spathes, pale rose-tinted within, around a pink-tinged spadix.
