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, we bought some calla lily bulbs at Hyde Hall yesterday. Can they be planted now or should we wait until spring? If the latter what\’s the best way to store the bulbs?
Thank you
Claire
Hi Claire
Plant them now and they will be in flower in a couple of months. They will then revert back to their usual flowering cycle next year. You can find planting and care instructions on each product page.

Hi
We purchased 2 lots of 3 rhizomes from you at Hampton Court Flower Show in early July with the intention of planting them in pots on our sunny patio. However, when I looked up when they should be planted, it clearly states they should be planted in the Spring, which has obviously long gone.
Please can you tell me whether I should go ahead and plant them now, or should I store them in a cool, dark place and plant them next Spring?
I intend to use John Innes No. 3 but should I mix this with something else?
I look forward to hearing.
Miranda
Yes plant them now and they will flower this year still – just a little a later as they’ve been held back in a Coldstore.
They will then revert back to their usual flowering cycle next year.
Plant in a loam-based compost such as John Innes No. 2 or you can mix it with a good-quality multi-purpose compost if you would like. Either is fine. Ensure they have adequate drainage and placed in a very warm position to get them activated.

Hi,
We bought some Lilies from you last spring and were delighted with them when they flowered later in the year. This year however the Calla lilies have all produced leaves but of all the bulbs in three different pots we only managed two single flowers ! We lifted the bulbs last winter and replanted them in John Innes No 2, they have been in leaf now for approx two months is there anything we can do to encourage them to flower this year ?
Thank you
Hi Peter
Did you cut the flowers back last year? If it doesn’t have enough stem and foliage to die back and feed the bulbs, then they may not flower as well the following year. I would give them a feed next year as you start to see signs of growth. Try using a high potash fertiliser like a liquid tomato feed.
