Can anyone suggest how hardy any Arum are in USDA zones 6 and 5?  I have =a
question about various Arum italicum strains for here.  Any hardy in cold=er
zones, like USDA 4?

I did plant roots of A. italicum marmoratum in autumn 2000 and have seen =no
sign of it since then.  Are any varieties hardy?  When would be the best
time to plant them here, to give them the best chance of surviving?

T.I.A.
