Arum besserianum

A hardy, cormous woodland Arum from western Ukraine and southern Poland, close to Arum maculatum. It grows in spring under deciduous trees and dies back in summer, so it belongs in a cold-winter garden rather than indoors.

Where it grows wild

Deciduous broadleaf woodland, ravines and shady slopes. This is inferred from the genus and the Podolian forest-steppe region where most records lie.

Lowland to hill country, about 200–370 m at the climate sites.
