Hello Pete....I wondered what this was. Do you know where they like to grow? #petecross

Hi David. Yes. It’s a close relative of our native Arum maculatum (known as ‘Lords & Ladies’, or ‘Cuckoo Pint’) which grows in moist, shady woodland and hedgerows. This form is more commonly grown in gardens because of its nice leaf markings, but it likes similar conditions.

You’re welcome. If you can’t find any of it for sale let me know. I can probably spare you a bit in spring.
