Product description

Zantedeschia Red Alert is a striking tuberous perennial known for its vibrant red, trumpet-shaped spathes that encircle a central yellow spadix. The bold blooms rise above lush, glossy, arrow-shaped green leaves, creating a dramatic display in gardens or containers during the summer months. This eye-catching plant adds a touch of exotic flair to any garden setting.

Ideal for borders, beds, or patio containers, Red Alert thrives in moist, humus-rich, well-drained soils under full sun or partial shade. In colder regions, it's advisable to lift and store the tubers in a frost-free environment over winter, replanting them in spring after the risk of frost has passed. Alternatively, grow in containers that can be moved indoors during the colder months.

Zantedeschia species are known for their bold and exotic appearance, making them popular choices for gardeners looking to introduce a tropical feel to their outdoor spaces. Their striking flowers and lush foliage not only enhance garden aesthetics but also make excellent cut flowers for indoor arrangements.
