This semi-evergreen clump-forming tuberous perennial has large arrow-shaped leaves.

The flowers are followed in autumn by clusters of red or orange fruit.

Arum creticum is cultivated as an ornamental plant in temperate gardens.

It is hardy but requires a sheltered position in sun or partial shade, with moist soil.

Caution should be exercised when handling it, as it is an irritant and toxic if ingested.
