Breck's is thrilled to offer this exciting, new collection of calla lilies! Although not a true lily, these exquisite, tropical-looking flowers have long been favourites of gardeners and floral designers. Each large, elegant, funnel-shaped bloom is formed from a single luminous, waxy petal that wraps around a spiky pistil. The lanceolate, often speckled leaves and long, smooth stems add further to the calla's appeal.

A wedding day tradition
White calla lilies are associated with wedding bouquets because they are said to bring good luck on the big day. But floral designers use callas of all colours, in large part because a freshly cut bloom can last up to two weeks. (Tip: Add a drop of chlorine to their water to keep callas fresh longer.) You'll want to grow plenty in the cutting garden, although they can also beautify beds, borders and--when grown in containers--patios and decks. They bloom for weeks during mid to late summer.

Callas offer so much, require so little
Many flowers become brown when past their peak, but calla lilies turn green and continue to look good until the blooms fade. Long after the flowers are gone, the foliage remains attractive, although the plants are unappealing to foraging deer and rabbits. The callas in this collection, and callas in general, require little upkeep, although they'll benefit from a monthly dose of Breck's Food for Bulbs and Perennials throughout the growing season. With varieties this stunning and colourful, you'll want to keep them around as long as you can!
