Zantedeschia 'Paco Purple'
calla lily
A tender calla lily to be grown as a houseplant or graceful cut flower, especially in elegant, large flower arrangements. Zantedeschia ‘Paco’ has luscious green arrow-shaped leaves and stunning deep purple pitchers with a mauve-pink border. The tuberous plant flowers on thick stems and is a real showstopper!
Flowering time can vary, typically falling between May and August, depending on growing conditions. Each bloom will usually last for a couple of weeks, giving you plenty of time to enjoy its striking colour.
Please note that the pot in the photograph is not supplied with the plant (which is sent out in a simple nursery alternative), but we have a wide and wonderful range on our website to choose from.

How to care for Zantedeschia Paco Purple:
Keep potted plants in a bright spot indoors, away from direct sunlight, or move it outside in summer to a warm, sheltered position in dappled shade. Water regularly while it is growing and flowering, keeping the compost moist but not waterlogged, and feed every two weeks during the growing season. Remove faded flowers and yellowing leaves as needed.
Best grown as a tender plant for summer interest, it can be protected from the cold over winter in a sheltered, frost-free spot. The foliage may die back after flowering, so reduce watering and allow the plant to rest before resuming regular watering as new growth appears in spring.
