Hi,
I have purchased a few calla Lilly bulbs from you. My question is when is the best time to plant in outside containers. When is early spring, end of March or end of April. For flowering in the summer
Thanks.

Hi Derek

Now (March) is the perfect time to plant Calla Lilies… any time between now and May. They need planting in pots and kept indoors in a sunny position until the risk of frost has passed. You can then transplant your callas to your garden or just move the pots to your patio or borders.

If you want to plant them straight outside, then I would wait until May when the weather has warmed up.

Your calla lilies will then flower later into the summer months and will need bringing back indoors before the first frosts hit.

I have just received an email saying this is now in stock however when I click on the link it says Zantedeschia ‘Cantor’ (Pack of 3 Bulbs) is still out of stock.

Hi Stephen

Sorry about that, the Zantesdeschia are now available to purchase online for delivery in the spring when they need planting for a glorious display come the summer! Why not plant these alongside the deepest red calla lily Majestic Red for a really dramatic visual point in your garden!

My calla lilies bought from you have been fantastic this year. They are planted in garden but can I leave them there to bloom again next year? Do I cut stems to ground when needed?

Hi,

I’ve purchased 5 packs of the Calla Lilies – Zantedeschia Brasilia, Snowstar and Picasso. I am finding conflicting information about planting advice (from different sources) and I wanted to double check whether these are appropriate to a Poorly-drained soil. I have a small ‘bog’ area next to a pond, created by a impermeable liner, and wanted to plant these bulbs there. However, the attached instructions describes planting in a free draining soil. Can you please advise?

Thanks,
Michele

Hello there,
The Zantesdeschia Calla Lily bulbs need planting in a well-drained soil otherwise they will rot if they are waterlogged. It’s the hardy Arum Lily Aethiopica that does well in boggy areas around ponds. Calla Lilies are ideal for planting in containers.

Overwintering Begonias

This question was asked by
Dave –

What do I do with my begonias now flowering is over?
Dave

Hi Dave

Once the Begonia flowering season has finished, the stems and foliage will turn yellow and die back naturally.
Reduce watering to prevent rotting.
Once all the stems have fallen off naturally, dig out the tubers, clean and dry them before storing them away in peat or sand in a dry, frost-free area like a garage or shed.
Replant the following February.
