Arisarum proboscideum
MOUSE PLANT

You could not find a cuter flower! These burgundy and white blooms have unusual tail-like tips and look like little mice nestled among the leaves. This diminutive woodland perennial is found in the shaded woodlands of Spain and Italy. Arrowhead-shaped deep green leaves rise from the ground to form a low-spreading 6" high carpet. The lovely little groundcover needs shade and adequate moisture and since it does go summer dormant, it is important to remember where you planted it! Place it along paths or in containers where the flowers have a chance to be seen. Sh-M
