Description

Calla Lily 'Captain Lido' is tropical and vibrant variety for the summer garden, containers or floral arrangements. This variety is celebrated for its dramatic sunset-hued blooms, which feature a stunning combination of deep yellow and rich maroon tones. Each trumpet-shaped flower seems to capture the brilliance of a tropical sunset, adding a burst of warm, radiant colour to your outdoor spaces. These vivid blooms stand proudly on tall, sturdy stems, creating an elegant and eye-catching display.

The dazzling flowers are perfectly complemented by lush, glossy green foliage. The smooth, arrow-shaped leaves provide a fresh, rich contrast to the fiery blooms, ensuring visual interest even when the plant is not flowering. This variety’s bold colouring and sophisticated form make it an excellent choice for creating focal points in garden beds, borders, or patio containers. Its versatility and visual impact also make it a favourite for stunning cut flower arrangements.

Calla Lily 'Captain Lido' is easy to grow and thrives with minimal care. It enjoys well-drained soil and performs best in full sun to partial shade. With a blooming period that extends through the summer and into early autumn, this plant provides a long-lasting splash of colour. Whether you're looking to create a tropical-inspired garden, brighten up your patio pots, or enhance a floral arrangement, 'Captain Lido' is sure to impress.
