in Plants
I moved to a house with an overgrown garden. The last year has been spent clearing it and building fences. There has also been a pond which we removed. Not much was worth keeping. One plant plant was determined to survive. It coped with people walking over it ,rubble piled up on it and i dread to think what else. I have now found out from my garden centre that it is an Arum Lily. No flowers has been produced this year. I feel it deserves to have a place in my new garden. The question is how should i look after it now and during the winter. The leaves that are there seem very healthy even though there were no flowers.

Leave it alone, if it's coped with all that ill-treatment it can look after itself

Nut has said it all. !
Do i have to do anything to it for the winter ?
I know i didnt last year and it survived but i wondered if that is why it didnt flower.
Have you got a photo of the arum lily?
A previous arum lily on the forum wasn't an arum lily it was Arum maculatum

Sorry the photo is on my husbands phone and he is away. I had printed off a copy and also took a leaf to the garden centre. The man there was positive it was an arum lily. I have looked at Arum maculatum and Arum Lily on the internet and both look very similar to each other, how can i tell the difference ?
The leaves of the Zantedeschia which is what's usually referred to as arum lily are longer and more pointed looking and have a different texture.
I think there are several people here who will be familiar with both and can tell you.
