Description:
Arum italicum is a unique perennial plant known for its striking silvery leaves with green borders and its ability to produce heat through its inflorescence. Native to regions including the British Isles and the Mediterranean, it grows up to 18 inches tall and blooms in spring with white flowers that turn into red fruit. This plant is cultivated for ornamental purposes but can be invasive in some areas like the Pacific Northwest USA. It is important to note that all parts of the plant are toxic if ingested. Arum italicum has several subspecies and cultivars, with 'Marmoratum' being recognized for its garden merit. It is often used in shaded garden areas and can hybridize with other Arum species.
