The blooms are trumpet-shaped and exude an air of understated elegance, making them ideal for both garden displays and floral arrangements. Foliage: This variety is characterized by its lush, arrow-shaped leaves, which are typically a vibrant shade of green. The glossy foliage provides a stunning backdrop for the delicate white flowers, enhancing their visual impact. Height: Rhemannii Calla Lilies typically grow to a height of around 12 to 18 inches (30 to 45 cm), making them well-suited for border plantings, container gardens, or mixed flower beds. Blooming Period: These calla lilies typically bloom from late spring to early summer, with flowers persisting for several weeks. With proper care, they may continue to produce sporadic blooms throughout the growing season. Habitat: Rhemannii Calla Lilies thrive in moist, well-drained soil and prefer locations with partial to full sunlight. They can be planted in garden beds, borders, containers, or along pond edges, adding a touch of grace and charm to any outdoor setting. Planting Instructions: Select a Location: Choose a site in your garden that receives partial to full sunlight and has well-drained soil. Avoid areas prone to waterlogging, as excessive moisture can lead to rhizome rot. Soil Preparation: Prepare the soil by loosening it to a depth of about 6 to 8 inches (15 to 20 cm) and incorporating organic matter, such as compost or well-rotted manure, to improve soil fertility and drainage. Planting Depth: Plant the Rhemannii Calla Lily rhizomes (bulbs) approximately 2 to 4 inches (5 to 10 cm) deep in the soil, ensuring that the pointed end faces upward. Space multiple rhizomes about 12 inches (30 cm) apart to allow for adequate air circulation and room for growth. Watering: Water the newly planted rhizomes thoroughly to settle the soil and promote root establishment. During the growing season, maintain consistently moist soil, watering deeply when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch. Avoid overwatering, as this can lead to root rot. Mulching: Apply a layer of organic mulch, such as shredded bark or compost, around the plants to help retain soil moisture, suppress weeds, and regulate soil temperature. Leave a gap between the mulch and the base of the plants to prevent rotting. Fertilization: Feed your Rhemannii Calla Lilies with a balanced fertilizer formulated for flowering plants once a month during the growing season. Follow the manufacturer's instructions regarding application rates and methods. Maintenance: Remove spent flowers regularly to encourage continuous blooming and prevent seed formation. After the first frost in autumn, cut back the foliage and apply a layer of mulch to protect the rhizomes during winter. By following these planting instructions and providing proper care, you can enjoy the delicate beauty of Rhemannii Calla Lilies in your garden, adding a touch of elegance and grace to your outdoor space.
