Zantedeschia aethiopica

Zantedeschia aethiopica, in English called white arum, is a high-upright, clump-forming root vegetable. The leaves are ground-upright, fleshy, dark green colored and arrow-shaped, they usually stand on stems 40 to 60 cm long. Not only the foliage attracts attention, from June to September Zantedeschia aethiopica blooms with softly scented, white arum-like flowers, which actually consist of a white flower sheath surrounding a yellow spadix, followed later in the season by striking yellow fruits. White arum likes a position in partial shade and moist neutral soil. The plant is moderately hardy and a good protective layer with mulch, wood or straw is recommended in winter. Zantedeschia aethiopica tolerates air pollution and attracts bees and butterflies.
