Calla Lily 'Lady Marmalade'

Perfect for adding some hot colour to the summer garden, these tricolour blooms open in abundance with up to ten from established tubers. The spathes are rich and changing shades of gold, orange and red. Upright, spotted glossy foliage.

Calla Lilies put on a spectacular summer show with multiple blooms from each tuber. These are the chic plants you want in your garden, with their fancy foliage and daring spathes, they can add great substance to your beds. They can be easily used in containers with great effect. They also make excellent cut flowers and will last a couple of weeks in a vase.

They can make a gorgeous addition to your landscape or when planted in pots on your terrace or balcony. The lush, mid green foliage grows wonderfully upright and dense. They are quite versatile and depending on how they are used they can promote a tropical vibe or a feeling of elegance in the garden.

You can plant your Calla Lilies in clumps, swathes, beds or even pots – they look good anywhere. From planting; the bulbs will take around 40-70 days to flower, faster in warm weather and pots.

Calla Lilies grow well in humus rich, moist, well drained soil. They need to be kept watered during the heat of summer because if they dry out they can go dormant and you won’t see them again until next season. A full sun to part shade location is where they want to be, keeping in mind warmer climates may require a morning sun/part shade position.

Ideally a monthly dose of fertiliser for your Calla Lilies during growth will help to get the most out of your flowering season. In warmer zones Calla Lilies have the potential to flower year round, keep them well fed and watered to achieve this.

Calla Lilies are suitable for growing in pots. If this is how you choose to grow yours, you will need to ensure you keep the pots moist during active growth and add regular doses of liquid fertiliser to keep them blooming at their best. Potted plants tend to be more compact than those grown in the garden.
