Arum creticum FCC Form (Cretan Arum)

Sun to Light ShadeZone: 7b-9, at least 12" tall Origin: Crete, Turkey

Open House/Web-Only! Arum creticum is one of the most highly prized members of the genus Arum but one that is always in short supply. We are particularly pleased to offer the more winter hardy FCC (First Class Certificate) form. Hailing from rocky mountainsides from 750' all the way to 4,700' on the island of Crete and adjacent Turkey, you'll find the green spade-like leaves sprouting early in autumn. In very early spring (late March - early April in NC), the small clumps are adorned with reflexed, large, creamy yellow spathes each holding a mustard-yellow spadix, and producing a surprising aroma of lemon. Don't miss this rare opportunity! Pot size: 24 fl. oz (709.77 ml)
