Arum dioscoridisSpotted Arum Black spadix surrounded by a pale green spathe with deep purple mottling. Leaves emerge from the summer dormancy in early autumn, each growing up to 60 cm long. A long flowering period follows from early winter until mid spring. Flowers keep well once cut, lasting up to a week in a vase. Will grow best in any sunny spot with free draining soil that is kept moist. Drainage is important as they will not tolerate sitting in water well. For
