Hi all,

I suppose Arum is a little off topic for this list, but I just received
tubers of Arum cyrenaicum and of Arum purpureospathum.

Now I wonder how best to grow these two species.  Under glass in containe=rs
or outdoors in the ground?  Soil? Watering?  To date I have not had succe=ss
with growing 'hardy" Arum outdoors in my woodland garden.

Thanks,
