Arum concinnatum

A robust, winter-growing tuberous Arum from the southern Aegean, from the Peloponnese and Crete to southwest Turkey, often sold wrongly as Arum byzantinum. Its leaves appear in autumn, it flowers in spring and it is dormant through the hot, dry summer. Grow it cool and moist in winter and dry in summer.
