It blooms in Spring with white flowers that turn to showy red fruit.〔 It is cultivated as an ornamental plant for traditional and woodland shade gardens.〔 Some gardeners use this arum to underplant with hosta, as they produce foliage sequentially; when the hosta withers away, the arum replaces it, leaving the ground covered.〔 Numerous cultivars have been developed for garden use, of which ''A. italicum'' subsp. ''italicum'' 'Marmoratum' has gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://apps.rhs.org.uk/plantselector/plant?plantid=178 )〕 ''Arum italicum'' can be invasive in some areas.〔(Clark County Master Gardeners )〕〔(National Park Service, Exotic Plant Management Team )〕 ''Arum italicum'' may hybridize with ''Arum maculatum''.〔Plantsman v13:3, p142, September 2014; Royal Horticultural Society〕 In 1778, Lamarck noticed that the inflorescence of this plant produces heat.〔Meeuse, B.J.D. 1975.
