Amazing plants, even in winter.

My Arum italicum 'Pictum' has just put up its winter foliage, a delight when most plants are brown. Hardy Zone 5-9. Plant some now in Zone 7.

It sticks around until the weather gets warm again next spring (early summer).

Don't forget the intriguing stems of red berries that appear after flowering!

You are correct Walter but I have never had many fruits on mine, I have seen them in other gardens.

Wow, got to remember that one...sun or shade and is it spreading?

Shade and if you are lucky it will spread but it is by no means aggressive in my garden.

Thank you Erica,I dont have this here in central Florida. It looks like it would fit into my sunken garden just fine. I love the exotic feel it brings to the table.
