I've grown Arum pictum (which is not to be confused with Arum italicum 'Pictum') for quite a few years. It's a medium-sized species with deeply veined, dark green leaves. Mine came from a single purchased tuber, and it has flowered only a few times. The inflorescence is not showy. I haven't noticed seeds or seedlings. It does make offsets infrequently, but these do not spread away from the parent plant as A. italicum does. I find it does best in a well-drained spot with little summer water. The only Arum species here that produces a lot of viable seed is Arum dioscoridis, and there are three clones of it present, so cross-pollination may enhance fertilization.
