Arum cyrenaicum

Plant Type:

BULBS

Arum cyrenaicum - Beautiful rosy purplish spathes often exhibit a lighter, whiter central flare which back-lights the contrasting darker red-purple spadices. Dark green arrowhead leaves are delicately spotted. Rare woodland species from scrubby woodlands in northeastern Libya. A late season spike of red berries can occur for each pollinated spadix augmenting the fascinating beauty and interest. Provide average, draining soil. Site in full to mostly sunny exposure. Pot grown bulb.We find all the aroids fascinating, primitive, oddly alluring, curious, with some - those emitting dangerous scent exude lurid malevolence. They are amazing. Their texture is unequaled in the garden adding exceptional interest, excitement and primitive presence.
