Arum hainesii

A rarely grown tuberous Arum endemic to Iraq, known mainly from the hills and mountains of the north. Like other Middle Eastern Arum it grows leaves in the cool wet months, flowers in spring and sleeps through the hot dry summer. Grow it as a cool-season geophyte with a dry, warm summer rest.

Where it grows wild

Little is recorded for this species; by analogy with related Arum it grows in rocky, open or lightly shaded ground, among limestone rocks, scrub or open oak woodland in the northern hills.

No usable elevations; the genus in this region typically grows in foothills and mountains, well above the lowland measuring point.
