Intriguing and unusual hooded blooms with variegated leaves
At first glance Arum italicum subsp. italicum 'Marmoratum' will seem familiar as it closely resembles our native, wild arum often referred to as ‘Lords and Ladies’ or ‘Jack-in-the- Pulpit’. On closer inspection, however, you will realise that this beautiful variant has dramatic and heavily patterned foliage which offers weed-suppressing groundcover for most of the year. Leaves die back briefly in summer as the flowers fade but quickly return lasting through the winter.
Transfixing, yellowish green hooded blooms emerge in May and June. Each bloom has a finger-like spike to its centre which, once pollinated, goes on to develop into bright orange ornamental berries. A fairytale plant which will add its magic to borders, rockeries and containers throughout your garden. So much admired that the RHS has bestowed its Award of Garden Merit upon ‘Marmoratum’.
Plant in rich, moist, well-drained soil of any type. Arum italicum su
