Logo indicating plant is one of Plant Delights' Introductions

It's been fourteen years since we've had any of our 2006 introduction to spare, so if you like these, don't wait. Arum 'Silver Cloud' is a Plant Delights/JLBG selection of Arum italicum from a seed crop of Arum 'Chamaeleon'. The silvery leaf center of the large spade-like leaves is surrounded by a contrasting green border with a smaller green pattern in the leaf center. In NC, the leaves emerge in late September/early October and persist throughout the winter until they flower in late April/early May. The flower is composed of a large lime-green spathe with a protruding, stiff green spadix. After flowering, Arum 'Silver Cloud' hibernates (brumates) for summer, so don't panic.
