Arum italicum (Italian Arum) Tubers

Arum italicum bulbs create a show-stopping plant known for its highly decorative leaves. The distinctive leaves boast a combination of dark and light greens, often veined with white for an eye-catching effect. The white hooded blooms complemented by a pale yellow spadix, give way to vibrant red berries, though these should not be eaten due to their toxicity.

This Arum favors a moisture-retentive soil that is well-draining. It has good winter hardiness, but may be damaged by prolonged frost, so it should be protected from extreme cold.

Planting Time: September - November

Flowering Time: February - April

Max height: 30cm

Frequently Asked Questions

When is the best time for autumn planting of spring bulbs?

The ideal time to plant spring flowering bulbs like tulips, daffodils, crocus, and snowdrops is from September to November. Planting during this period allows bulbs to establish roots before winter and ensures a healthy, vibrant bloom in early spring, with stunning green foliage and flower colours ranging from purple and blue to bright yellows and whites.

How long do spring bulbs take to flower?

Most spring bulbs planted in autumn start to flower between February and May, depending on the type. Early bloomers like snowdrops and crocus appear first, while tulips and daffodils follow later in spring, creating a sequential display of colour.

Can I plant different types of spring bulbs together?

Yes! Mixing different bulbs such as tulips, daffodils, and muscari adds something extra in terms of colour and texture to your garden. Planting in clusters or drifts creates a natural, layered effect, letting you get a longer flowering season and a richer display for both you and pollinators.

Do I need to remove foliage after flowering?

Yes, but allow leaves to die back naturally rather than cutting them too early. Leaving the foliage lets the plant save energy, which the bulbs use to produce strong, vibrant flowers come next spring.
