Summary

Arum cylindraceum, commonly known as Goulimime Arum, is a perennial herb native to various habitats in the Mediterranean region, Europe and the Baltics, including open woodlands, rocky slopes, and scrub areas. It typically grows to a height of 20-40 cm. The plant features a distinctive spadix surrounded by a spathe, which can be green or purple, and blooms in the spring. The flowers are considered showy due to their unique structure and coloration. After flowering, it produces red berries that are attractive but should not be consumed as they are toxic.

Goulimime Arum is valued for its striking flowers and foliage, which add an exotic touch to gardens. It is used in border plantings, woodland gardens, and as an underplanting for shrubs and trees. This arum prefers well-drained soil, rich in organic matter, and can tolerate a range of light conditions from full sun to part shade. It requires consistent moisture during the growing season but should be kept drier in the dormant period to prevent bulb rot.CC BY-SA 4.0
