I love callas!
Verified Buyer
These beauties did not disappoint. They grew rapidly and bloomed like crazy. I'm very happy with them.
Not purple
I only got two of these bulbs to grow and they are definitely not the purple shown in the photos. They are a lovely bright pink and while I don't dislike the color, it's not what I ordered. It's also discouraging that only two made it.
Poor Performance
Verified Buyer
Not all of tubers bloomed and those that did had minimal flowers.
Not the same color
Verified Buyer
I ordered this very pretty lilac violet color and got burgundy and bright yellow, not really the ambiance I was going for. I called and ask d for the company to send to correct color they reimbursed half the amount, the sale price. Not very helpful.

Healthy and lovely, but not as described
As always, the bulbs arrived healthy and plump and 4 of the 5 have started blooming, but aside from the lovely violet throats, these are very VERY pink.

Not the right color
All of the bulbs bloomed, they were the first to bloom out of all calla Lilly bulbs I ordered. I'm giving them one star because they are not purple, they're pink which I am pretty disappointed by.
Beautiful In Picture
Verified Buyer
I thought these were a beautiful color and would look great mixed with the red alert but unfortunately, the bulbs arrived in bad condition. The company was nice enough to refund them and hopefully I can retry next year.
Absolutely gorgeous
Verified Buyer
I wish I had taken a picture. These Captain Violetta Calla Lilys were spectacularly beautiful . Definitely a keeper!
Pretty color
Verified Buyer
It was true to color, but didn't grow as tall as I expected. Perhaps it will be larger next summer with another year's growth.
Poor showing
Verified Buyer
Most emerged but only a few flowered
Questions & Answers
Q&A
Showing 1 out of 1 Questions
- Q
I am very concerned that customers reported that few if any bulbs flowered. I am an expert gardener and will be planting about 10 of these in the correct location for their optimal blooming. If I plant these and they don't bloom, I will frankly be furious considering how much money I will have spent plus they will be hogging prime real estate in front of my house. What can you tell be about flowering?
