Calla (New Zealand) Aurora

Calla (New Zealand) Aurora
Gently recurved flowers in a cool cherry pink with just the faintest hint of lilac elevate Aurora to favored status among the New Zealand callas. Her foliage is narrow, lance shaped, without lobes and decorated with a light sprinkling of creamy speckles. This variety is highly disease resistant.

Hard to find New Zealand callas are prized for their extra tall, large flowers. A florist's dream these make outstanding, long lasting cut flowers in estate size arrangements. New Zealand callas are superb garden plants in mixed beds and are magnificent in oversized containers. Very limited stock for '09 and odds are slim these will be available in future seasons.

Note: These represent a very special one-time deal, excellent for warm weather gardeners. Previously sold for 3/$18.95. Snag yours now and steal a deal!


Highlights & Hints
- Callas perform best as "teenagers", buy bulbs that are 2 years old; old enough to have developed to a good size and young enough to still have lots of vigorous shoots.
- Our calla tubers are pretreated for greater flower development (up to twice as many) and improved disease resistance.
