Lords and Ladies
The Lord and Ladies, 'Arum italicum', a fall planted bulb, not only grows wild in Italy but also in Southern France and Spain, so it is a real Mediterranean plant. What makes this Arum so different is that its beautifully shaped. Marked and veined leaves appear in autumn and stay green all winter. Its inflorescence, the only conspicuous part being its soft yellow-green bract, consists of a spadix. The plant's foliage withers back during the summer while pretty, orange-red berries appear in autumn.Arum prefers a humus, very moist soil. Plant in perennial beds or under trees and shrubs. In cold areas, cover with a protective mulch. Arum takes a year or two to establish well. These plants flower in late summer and bloom for 4 to 6 weeks. They are deer, rabbit and squirrel resistant.
