A fascinating species from the islands of the western Mediterranean, the only species of Arum to flower in autumn.
Thick leathery leaves - I grow it under cover to keep it from getting too wet in winter, but it seems to resist cold quite well.

Dark purple black flowers in late summer and early autumn.

A much better flowering this year, although the timing has been remarkable consistent.
