Marked down!!
These plants are easy to grow. I have two sizes, 3-1/2 x 4" pots, and 4" x5" pots.
They look like herbaceous palm trees and have a pretty green trunk (petiole) with spots. They grow from a bulb and die back in the fall.
Once the bulbs reach about 2" in diameter, they are flowering size and before the plant comes up in the spring it will flower with a large Calla lily looking flower. Often it has a bad smell, like a dead animal or something like that. It's part of the appeal of these plants for some people, but if you don't like the smell, just spray the flower with some water and the smell stops.
They like partial sun. Morning sun and dappled shade in the afternoon are great. They aren't hardy unless you live in a warm area.
The group photos are the plants for sale. The smaller ones are $7and the larger ones are $10. It's a bit hard to tell but the smaller pots are smaller than the Coke can and the larger pots are just a bit bigger than the Coke. The larger ones will probably bloom next spring. I've included close ups of what the leaf and petiole look like, and the flower. Oh, and the seed pods! BLUE!!
Shipping by priority mail, 2 pounds from 37725 and the plants will be removed from their pots.
I've sold on Cubits, ATP, and Dave's Garden and I used to run the Calla Lily Co-op, which hopefully will start up again if there is more interest.
