Description / Zantedeschia 'Pink Jewel' Calla Lily Bulbs
Plant 'Pink Jewel' Calla Lily bulbs in the spring and enjoy 18- to 24-inch-tall plants that display 2- to 3-inch, velvety, trumpet-shaped flowers in lovely pink shades all summer long. These blooms, ranging from gentle pastels to deeper vibrant tones, stand above speckled, spear-shaped leaves, bringing a touch of charm to gardens and cut-flower arrangements. Each bulb is capable of producing five or more flower stalks in its first year.
'Pink Jewel' is part of the Zantedeschia genus, commonly referred to as calla lilies. Originating from South Africa, they are tender perennials in Zones 8-10 but are often cultivated as annuals or Houseplants in cooler regions. These calla lilies are excellent as specimen plants and thrive in containers, with three bulbs comfortably filling a 10- to 12-inch decorative pot. They make a spectacular statement when planted in sweeping drifts or grouped in beds and borders.
'Pink Jewel' calla lilies are easy to grow and generally problem-free. They bloom best in sunny spots but can handle partial shade; in hot summer areas, morning sun with some afternoon shade is ideal. They favor loose, rich, moisture-retentive, well-drained soil but are adaptable to various soil conditions. Plant the bulbs in warm spring soil after the last frost, spacing them 18 to 24 inches apart and 5 inches deep, with the growing points facing upward. Consistent watering and feeding during the growing season will encourage healthy growth.
Although 'Pink Jewel' calla bulbs might overwinter in Zone 7 with heavy mulch, they are mainly summer hardy. In regions with winter frost, it's best to lift and store bulbs in the fall or treat them as annuals.
