do you mean Arum or the bog plant also called zandeneschia?
Arum tend to be woodlanders and the corms can be planted about 2-3inches deep in good leafmould/littered soil.
The Zandeneschia I think prefer moister conditions [seen them in bog gardens and shallow ponds] and full sun. they come in a range of colours and yes you can plant them mixed together.

Zantedeschia aethiopica, [arum lily] is a south african native plant , so should be no problem, Derek.

The common white Arum Lily (Zantedeschia aethiopica) is something of a bog plant, though it likes drier conditions during hot summers, when it usually goes dormant. The colored-bloom species (Z. elliotiana, Z. rehmannii, and their hybrids) need better drainage and warmer winters than the white one.
