Plant description
With its soft pink spathes and contrasting yellow spadix, this striking arum lily adds a delicate splash of colour to damp borders, pond edges, or containers.
Zantedeschia aethiopica 'Flamingo' produces its elegant blooms in spring, rising above bold, dark green, arrow-shaped foliage for a refined and architectural display. Thriving in moist, well-drained soil and full sun to partial shade, it’s a versatile choice for gardens or floral arrangements.
In cooler regions, provide winter protection or grow in containers to bring indoors during colder months, ensuring this vigorous perennial continues to thrive year after year.
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 aethiopica Flamingo (PBR):
Plant in humus-rich, moist to poorly drained soil, basking in full sun for optimal growth. In regions that experience severe or prolonged cold, it's essential to protect the crown of plants above the waterline with a deep winter mulch to safeguard against frost damage.
While this cultivar is typically hardy in areas with mild winters and can remain in the ground year-round, in colder regions, it's advisable to dig up rhizomes before the first frost and store store them in a cool, dry place until spring.
Alternatively, for those in colder spots, treating them as annuals by replanting new rhizomes each year is a viable option to ensure continuous blooms and healthy growth.
