information: "Bog Arum" can be planted
in early spring at the ponds edge or directly in the pond at a
maximum depth of 10". Rhizomes or started plants should be
available a your local Garden Center.
The plant can also be grown
in pond baskets. "Bog Arum" is very easy to grow and
requires little care once established. The white spathe type
flower looks identical to the "Peace
Lily" flower. When matured the flower will turn
into a small cluster of pale red berries. Remove dead or dying
foliage and flowers as they appear.
