Arum italicum 'Ghost'

Plant Type:

BULBS

Arum italicum 'Ghost' (ex: Seneca Hill Perennials) – This is a selection made by Ellen Hornig of Seneca Hill Perennials with exceptional color patterning: a preponderance of lovely tints of gray-gold with some irregular green spotting plus green leaf margins. 'Ghost' will make a spectacular potted plant in the cool greenhouse up north and a fantastic woodland specimen that will glow in the shade garden farther south.


Arum italicum is a Mediterranean plant. The foliage will emerge in our fall cycle and where warm enough will remain through the winter season dying off in the spring.


Be sure to keep potted specimens moist during the growth cycle but kept dryish during summer dormancy. Site in open shade planted in fertile soil that drains well. If kept too wet they will rot. Division.
