Aberdeen Gardening – Help For The Amateur Gardener

http://www.aberdeengardening.co.uk/

Although my aim is to be as accurate as I possibly can be with my profile of plants which are hardy in the Aberdeen area, this one I cannot resist.

The Arum Lily in the north east of Scotland is borderline. Overcome the problem by planting in a container, in Winter the protection of a cold greenhouse is sufficient.

This architectural plant likes moist boggy soil and is well suited for the damp marginal conditions of a garden pond. Here in Aberdeen keep your container grown specimen well watered, in fact there is no fear of over watering in a well drained container. The leaves are an attractive long arrow shape, dark green and glossy. The main attraction is of course the pure white hood shaped flowers, which in fact are spathes. In the Aberdeen area place your container in a sheltered semi shaded position position.

Height – 90cm

Hardiness – Fully hardy/borderline

Position – semi shade, in humus rich moist soil

Flowering period – June/July
