I'd just like to mention that although Arum italicum CAN germinate very =quickly, it can also take over a year. It is definitely worth keeping =all Arum seed pots for a couple of years if nothing happens in the first =season. Some species germinate belw ground and do not put up a leaflet =until the second season - others may just sit there!
