        Order Poppy Seeds Now Plant Them in November For A Magnificent 2019 Garden There are 4 species of poppy that are well known to gardeners: Papaver orientale, Papaver nudicaule, Papaver rhoeas and Papaver somniferum.

  • Calla Lily, Rocket – 1 bulb

    Feb 05, 2022

    CALLA LILY, Rocket FULL SUN Native to South Africa, Calla Lilies are a relatively recent introduction to American and European gardens having reached the two continents in the late 1800s. For years now, Calla Lily experts have been trying to breed a truly red Calla. Rocket is the result of those efforts. This Calla, unlike any other Calla, has a spathe the interior of which is scarlet – not pinkish red nor orangish red – true scarlet. The outside of the spathe has a broad band of red, but fades to a very pale red near and at the stem. The leaves are highly variegated, and the plant can reach a height of 16-20 inches. In Hardiness Zones 4-8, start corms indoors in March-April and transplant outside

  • Calla Lily, Dubai Nights – 1 bulb

    Feb 05, 2022

    CALLA LILY, Dubai Nights FULL SUN Native to South Africa, Calla Lilies are a relatively recent introduction to American and European gardens having reached the two continents in the late 1800s. The reason we describe this Calla as “The Calla That Celebrates All Callas” is because a fortuitous merging of color and effect occurred when this Calla was developed. Dubai Nights is primarily a deep, intense purple which gently fades to white in a very narrow band at the edge of the spathe. The pointed tip of the spathe undulates into what is often a perfect ring. Because of the intensity of the purple, your eye is drawn to the undulation of the spathe’s edge, and you are unable to ignore the architectural beauty that distinguishes
