A native of Europe, Arum Italicum is grown for its unusual hooded flower, similar to a Jack in the Pulpit. This plant really stands out in the garden come fall when the spent flower stalk bears fruit, a dense cluster of orangey red berries that last for several months. The flowers and the berry stalks make unusual additions to both shade plantings, where hostas and astilbes make good partners, and to out of the ordinary arrangements. The attractive foliage is arrow shaped, sometimes generously mottled, and appears in fall, persisting through winter, even when covered with snow. Note: wear gloves when planting tubers, as some people find these irritating to the skin. To see image of berries, click on Image Gallery link above.
