Zantedeschia ‘Red Alert’
Zantedeschia 'Red Alert' is a Calla Lily with orange-red trumpet flowers with green and spotted white foliage.
Zantedeschia ‘Red Alert’ is a Calla Lily with orange-red trumpet flowers with a hint of yellow emerging from the stem. Similar coloured spadix. The flowers flow seamlessly out of the heart-shaped green foliage that is spotted in white. Hybrid callas break dormancy in mid to late spring once bulbs have received enough heat and quickly come into bloom from summer through fall. Likes to be moist and can be grown as a marginal aquatic. Fertilize bi-monthly until flowers fade. Beautiful in borders, containers and as cut flowers. Hardy in coastal BC with good drainage and a winter mulch or lift and store. Pollinator attractor. Deer and rabbit resistant.
