How to Grow Arum Lilies – Basic Care

Arum Lilies do best in a humus rich well drained position in full sun. Mulch well to retain moisture. Seed heads will form after the flowers and will ripen a brilliant red. In warmer climates, some afternoon shade will improve the life of the flowers.

To prevent self seeding snip these off as they appear. Or collect when ripe and propagate them.
