Arum

Arum - Arum Lily

Arum is a tuber forming perennial, usually with broad arrow-shaped leaves. Some species of Arum already show their foliage before winter. Funnel-shaped white spathes appear in spring or early summer. After flowering the plants retreat underground only to re-appear again in autumn with a stem covered in orange berries. Some Arum have marbled foliage. They are true shade plants which combine well with Polygonatum, Hakonechloa and Dryopteris erythrosora. Arum is toxic in all parts and some people get skin irritation on contact.
