Midnight Magic Calla Lily Mix (Zantedeschia, mixed varieties) brings together stunning calla lilies with slender flowers in deep shades of purple, burgundy, and pink. Rising above glossy green foliage, their elegant spathes create refined contrast and a dramatic display from June to August. This rhizomatous perennial reaches approximately 40 cm (16 in) tall and 30 cm (12 in) wide, producing abundant blooms that add a sophisticated touch to summer landscapes. Not hardy in our climate, it must be protected from frost and overwintered indoors.
Plant the rhizomes in spring once the soil has warmed and all danger of frost has passed, approximately 10 cm (4 in) deep and 30 cm (12 in) apart. Choose a location in partial sun to partial shade with rich, fertile, slightly acidic to neutral, consistently moist, and well-drained soil. Maintain regular moisture without allowing the soil to become waterlogged, then gradually reduce watering as the foliage enters dormancy. Apply a balanced fertilizer every two weeks to support flowering. Lift the rhizomes before the first frost and store them in a cool, dry location.
The ‘Midnight Magic’ mix is beautifully suited to summer flower beds, borders, large containers at least 35 cm (14 in) in diameter, and cutting gardens. On a patio or near an entrance, its rich colours create an elegant, contemporary atmosphere. Pair it with begonias, caladiums, cannas, coleus, or heucheras to create lush displays with tropical accents. The flowers have excellent vase life and are ideal for sophisticated bouquets that remain attractive for several days. Grown primarily for ornamental value, this collection is not intended for consumption and should be protected from slugs, aphids, and excessive moisture.
