We purchased this stunning selection of Arum italicum from Poyntzfield Herb Nursery in Scotland back in the early 1990s without a cultivar name. Over the years, Arum italicum 'Scottish Silver' has proven to be a distinctive and superbly worthy selection that we are pleased to have enough to share. The amount of silver marbling on the leaf, which is slightly narrower than normal and tops out at 20" tall, is simply superb. As with all Arum italicum, the greenish spathes appear in early May (NC) as the foliage goes dormant. Our supply is very limited.
