Growing at a glance…
Plant your Zantedeschia tubers in compost in spring months. Ensure all risk of frost has passed before planting in your garden. Keep well-watered throughout its growing season, especially if the soil feels dry to touch. Dig a hole at least twice the bulbs depth and space each bulb around 30-40cm apart. This is due to their wide leaves and need more space to grow than a typical bulb.
