Description

Calla Lily ‘Akela’ (Zantedeschia ‘Akela’) is a mesmerizing perennial that brings an air of mystery to any garden or floral arrangement. This stunning variety is celebrated for its deep burgundy blooms that verge on near-black, offering a luxurious and dramatic colour palette. The elegant, funnel-shaped flowers stand tall on sturdy, slender stems, rising above a bed of lush green foliage. The leaves are beautifully adorned with delicate white speckles, adding texture and contrast to this striking display.

With its rich, moody tones and graceful form, Calla Lily ‘Akela’ is perfect for creating a bold focal point in garden beds, borders, or patio containers. These dark-hued blooms also make a stunning addition to cut flower arrangements, providing an element of contemporary elegance. The combination of the dark blooms and speckled foliage creates a captivating visual contrast that draws the eye and adds depth to any garden space.

                                            Planting information

                                            - Dig a hole to the required depth. You can find this required depth for each type of bulb, tuber or root in the growing guides.

                                            - Depth is measurement of space between the soil line and top of bulb or bare root.

                                            - Set the bulbs or bare root in place, pointed side or sprout side upward.

                                            - Cover the bulbs by replacing the soil and water thoroughly.
