Arum korolkowii

A tuberous Central Asian Arum of the Tien Shan and Pamir-Alay foothills that grows in the cool, wet spring and dies back for a hot, bone-dry summer. Treat it as a hardy geophyte: cold winters, a short bright growing season, and a dry summer rest are what it expects.

Where it grows wild

Grows on stony and loess mountain slopes, among shrubs and in light woodland of juniper, walnut and maple in the foothill and lower montane belt. Details here are inferred from the measured sites and the genus, as species-specific accounts are thin.

Records with elevation run 1160–2000 m (median about 1830 m); most sites are in the western Tien Shan foothills east of Tashkent.
