Require Long Time to Establish

Submitted 1 year ago

By Jane K.

From Plainview, NY

After 2 full growing seasons, I finally saw 1 bloom. I don't think they like or appreciate southern exposure in zone 7a now zone 7b. I do feel they'd prefer partial or filtered light instead. That said, the foliage is stunning, very tropical looking and lasts beyond the 1st frost. The flower that finally emerged was stunning and a delight to any gardener! The gorgeous creamy white flower would easily retail for $7 per bloom in any florist shop.

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend

Only about 1/4 of them actually sprouted. I bought them on sale...but none the less...this is really very disapointing!

Not the same color

By Ag

From Georgia USA

I bought this at the beginning of the year and was shipped in may, I was exited because my mother had this one's when I was growing up. I planted them in my garden and sadly they were yellow not white and they were small flowers. Also I ordered the black ones I hope that they are black and to yellow. I planted dark flowers on front of my mailbox so I hope is the right color.

Bottom Line No, I would not recommend to a friend

wtorth waiting for

From Lexington, SC

I bought calla Aethiopica last year. They came up, looked healthy, but did not flower. They not only survived the winter in a large pot in a sheltered location, but came up early, huge, and ready to bloom. The display has been in bloom constantly with two or three flowers for just about 2 months, early April through May and still going strong. gorgeous. I don't even want to think what an arrangement like this would cost . It was well worth the bulb price and the wait.

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend

took some time, but extremely handsome

I planted these in a very large pots, 21 inches across. The first year it put out aome leaves and was rather non descript. I'm in 8A and left it in the pot over the winter outside. The area is nortoriousl hot and its in a sheltered spot. It refused to die. On a few really cold nights I inverted a big pot filled with pine straw over It not only survived, but on April 25 the leaves are over 2 feet tall, bushy and attractive with three very tall, very large gorgeous flowers. I have no ideaif it will bloom again in the late summer, but the leaves are a handsome backdrop for other flowers spilling over the edge of the pot. Took some time, but well worth it.Might might want to let ustomers know that they might not do much the ifirst year.

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend
