Dracunculus vulgaris (Dragon Arum) Tubers

Introduce a touch of the dramatic to your garden with the Dragon Arum. This Mediterranean plant creates a spectacular and unforgettable display.

A Truly Unique Flower

The flower consists of a large, maroon spathe that wraps around a deep purple spike.
This spathe can reach an impressive 30 cm (12 inches) in length.
The plant flowers from late spring to early summer, typically in May and June.

Garden Performance and Size

Dragon Arum grows to a mature height of approximately 90 cm (3 feet).
It will spread to around 45 cm (1.5 feet) across.
It is a herbaceous perennial, meaning it will die back in winter and re-emerge each spring.

Benefits for UK Wildlife

The potent scent of the flower attracts pollinating insects, particularly flies.
By drawing these insects into your garden, you provide a valuable food source for birds and other predators.
It increases the biodiversity of your outdoor space.

Other Common Names

You may also find this plant sold as the Voodoo Lily or the Snake Lily.

Plant your bulbs in autumn.
Choose a warm, sunny spot with well-drained soil.

The plant is reliably hardy in the UK and requires very little maintenance once established.

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.
