The Zantedeschia is a real summer bloomer. This type of flower bulb is available in various colours. You are sure to find the right bulb for you, as they are available in bright, red or pink colours, but also in darker shades. The Zantedeschia is originally from South Africa, which will make your garden look much more tropical. But before you decide in favour of the Zantedeschia, you should first know what is important about the Zantedeschia.
You can find a lot of false information on the internet, even when it comes to planting Zantedeschia. For example, it is claimed that the Zantedeschia grows best in the shade. However, this is not true: as a tropical plant, it prefers full sun.
Planting Zantedeschia, how does it work?
The Zantedeschia prefers a sunny location. Therefore, first make sure that this plant is in full sun in summer. Zantedeschia bulbs are also best planted in groups, which will give your garden a more playful look. The Zantedeschia flower bulbs that you can find in the Fluwel.co.uk webshop have been specially selected by our growers. Our flower bulbs can also be kept outside the garden and are very easy to care for. They can therefore grow well in most gardens.
Plant the Zantedeschia bulbs in spring, in the month of May. Make sure that these bulbs are covered with 10 centimetres of garden soil. These bulbs form roots on the underside, which then emerge from the top.
You can add some compost to the garden soil in which the Zantedeschia bulbs are to grow. Don't water your bulbs too much, as this will cause the leaves to develop very quickly and the flowers won't get a chance to develop properly.
As soon as it gets frosty outside, you should take the Zantedeschia bulbs out of the garden soil and store them in a cool, frost-free place until spring arrives again.
