Zantedeschia Odessa
M5890
Description
Zantedeschia 'Odessa' is a striking bloom displays a deep plum tone so dark it appears almost black, creating a dramatic, velvety presence in the garden. Exceptional as a cut flower, it commands attention in any arrangement.
From May right through to October, Zantedeschia 'Odessa' produces an impressive succession of blooms, offering an extended season of bold, sophisticated colour. The common name Calla Lily derives from the Greek kallos meaning ‘a thing of beauty’.
Care Guide
Most varieties of Zantedeschia grow best in a conservatory or greenhouse in sun or part shade. Plant rhizomes 8-10 cm deep in a container filled with good quality, free-draining multi-purpose compost. Provide consistent watering, ensuring the soil stays moderately moist to maintain lush growth of your calla lilies.
Plants can be gradually hardened off in late spring and enjoyed outdoors in a sunny spot for the warm summer months.
Once flowers start to appear, feed plants every 3 weeks with high-potash liquid fertiliser. These frost-tender perennials must be brought back indoors before temperatures drop in autumn and protected from freezing temperatures.
