Arum Creticum Fcc Form

Description

Arum creticum FCC Form is a highly sought-after, award-winning form of the Cretan Arum, prized for its luminous, soft yellow spathes and lush, deeply veined, arrow-shaped foliage. Unlike many Aroids, this variety produces a delicate, pleasant fragrance, making it a standout choice for collectors and gardeners alike. In early to mid-spring, its elegant blooms emerge, surrounding a slender central spadix that enhances its exotic appeal.

Native to the rocky landscapes of Crete, Arum creticum thrives in well-draining, gritty soil and prefers a sheltered position with dappled sunlight or light shade. It is highly tolerant of dry conditions once established, making it an ideal addition to Mediterranean gardens, woodland plantings, and container displays. This perennial reaches a compact height of 12-18 inches (30-45 cm), making it perfect for small gardens or unique focal points within mixed borders.
