Description

Nothing beats the sight of Calla Lilies and 'Cantor' is a fabulous variety that will make a stunning addition to your late spring to early summer garden. Producing incredibly beautiful deep purple, trumpet-like blooms each bloom, which are almost black, contrasting perfectly against the green foliage. Great for growing as single bulbs in a pot, or as a set of three in a large pot. To guarantee the best results, keep them very warm and well-watered for two weeks once you have planted to kick start their dormancy. You can keep them warm by using a heater or an airing cupboard, then once the shoots appear, you can place them outside. Supplied as a pack of three bulbs, ready to plant out from February to March.

Top Tips

Remember that hybrid callas prefer well-drained soil and they should not be allowed to sit in water.

Care Information

Planting Advice for Zantedeschia:

Plant corms any time between February and June when the danger of frost is past.
Bury them saucer shape up, just with a shallow 1-2cm covering of open, well-draining compost.
Water well.
Keep them warm and well-watered once planted for two weeks to break their dormancy - on a heater or an airing cupboard is fine, then once the green shoots appear, they can be placed outside.

Aftercare Advice for your Black Calla Lily:

Water plants only when the soil is slightly dry as plants dislike soggy soil.
If you wish, pots can be sunk into beds and borders for the summer - callas will thrive in full sun to partial shade � bright, indirect light being ideal.
give plants a feed with a general-purpose fertiliser once the flowers are fading to promote leaf growth.

Winter Protection Advice:

Before frost threatens bring pots indoors, storing them in their pots in a dry place. In spring, restarting the cycle again with light and water.
