Description / Zantedeschia 'Captain Fuego' Calla Lily Bulbs

'Captain Fuego' is a standout calla lily, growing 18 to 24 inches tall and wide. This summer bloomer produces five or more flower stalks in its first year. The 2- to 3-inch, chalice-shaped flowers showcase a mix of yellow, orange, pink, and apricot tones, complemented by variegated, arrow-shaped leaves. These durable, multicolored blooms are excellent for vibrant monofloral bouquets and add a unique touch to mixed floral arrangements.

Part of the Zantedeschia genus, commonly known as calla lilies, 'Captain Fuego' hails from South Africa. In Zones 8-10, it's a tender perennial, while in cooler areas, it's often grown as an annual or houseplant. These plants excel as specimen pieces and are well-suited for containers, indoors or out, with three bulbs typically filling a 10- to 12-inch pot. For a striking effect, plant them in groups in beds and borders.

'Captain Fuego' calla lilies are straightforward to cultivate and generally problem-free. They perform best in sunny spots but can handle partial shade; in hot summers, morning sun with afternoon shade is ideal. While adaptable to many soils, they prefer loose, rich, moisture-retentive, well-drained soil. Plant the bulbs in spring after frost danger has passed, spacing them 18 to 24 inches apart and 5 inches deep, with the growing points facing up. Consistent watering and feeding during the growing season will support healthy growth.

Although 'Captain Fuego' calla bulbs might survive winter in Zone 7 with heavy mulch, they are mainly summer hardy. In frost-prone areas, it's best to dig them up in the fall or treat them as annuals.
