A striking cultivar of Arum italicum.

Bears deep green, glossy leaves, covered in cream veins. Bears a large, pale green to almost cream spathe in mid spring, followed later in the year by spikes of red-orange berries that birds love. Leaves die back by mid summer.

Flowers mainly in April

Loves a moist, humus rich soil in light shade during spring but prefers a dry summer dormancy.

Excellent woodland garden plant but can be invasive in some regions.
