Italian Arum (Arum italicum): Winter Foliage & Summer Berries

Italian Arum (Arum italicum), also called Large Cuckoo Pint or Lords-and-Ladies, is a shade-loving perennial grown for its attractive, arrow-shaped leaves — often marbled with white veins — that emerge in autumn and persist through winter. In spring, a pale green spathe encloses a cream spadix, followed by showy spikes of bright orange-red berries in summer. Excellent for woodland gardens.
