A pale, lemom tinted form of the species that I am hoping will add to the diversity of Arum creticum in the garden. My original stock came from Desirable Plants a few years ago
but was delighted to get another from Gwaun Valley Nursery to plant in the garden. I am always looking for spring flowering plants to add to the space under the trees at the top of the garden
and Arum creticum seemed a likely candidate. A. c. 'Karpathos' grows well under a rhododendron lower in the garden. Adding 'Marmaris White' to 'Karpathos'
among the spring bulbs gives me some genetic diversity and a better chance of getting seed set. The Gwaun Valley label says: "Unusual white-flowered form. Clump forming with deep green leaves on red stems and in early spring late white spathe flowers. Rich, well-drained soil in sun." |
