Arum hardiness & more questions

[George R Stilwell, Jr.]

Bonaventure,

I have grown Arum creticum here. They survive, but do not do well in my
hands. But neither
does Arum italicum that grows wild every place else around here. I think
Arum just don't like me.

Ann Kline grows all kinds of Arum in Pennsylvania and judging by some
tubers she shared
they do very well there.

I'm not sure what you mean by "intermediate species to the genus
Arisaema"? As to similar
plants, Pinellia is certainly one. It looks like a miniature Arisaema.
See Roy's Arisaema page
for pictures and lots of information.

I grew, by accident, a Typhonium horsfieldii one season and it is similar
in appearance to
both Arisaema and Pinellia. It did not survive the winter here.

Tropical Arisaema look like Arisaema in every respect. They certainly
don't look like Amorphophallus
at all.
