A tuberous perenial from Greece, Crete and other Grecian Islands.

Has mid-green, silver splashed, spear or arrow shaped, glossy leaves. Bears large, pale green spathes sometimes blushed with purple.

Flowers March-June

Loves a well-drained, moderately fertile soil in sun or shade. It appreciates shade from hot sun and in warm climates. Needs a sheltered position where it is moist in summer and almost dry in winter when it is dormant.
