Lysichiton camtschatcensis

Flowers: May-June.  Plant in sun or light shade.  HxS:  80x80cm

This lovely Arum from the far east of Russia has the most beautiful white, arum-like flowers. These are slightly later than its American cousin, Lysichiton americanus, but equally as effective when placed in or near water.  The leaves are much smaller and this is a better plant for a small pond or bog garden.  Slow to establish when first planted, but very tough, with a hardiness rating H7.  Pot size 1 litre. AGM.

Care & Maintenance.

Remove the old foliage in spring and split plants every three or four years to maintain vigour.  Lysichiton can be divided after flowering or you can collect and sow seed.  For marginal planting in up to 5cm/2” of water
