Description
Just as the cantor leads the choir, Calla Lily 'Cantor' is sure to have a stand-out role in your store of gardening success stories. After all, what could be more exotic than the blackest of the black callas in all its dusky glory? Make a statement in containers set against a white background, or give it a prominent place in your atrium or elegant entrance garden. Don’t forget to cut a few long-lasting blooms to add drama to cut flower arrangements. What could be more dramatic than near-black lilies?
Calla Lily 'Cantor' is a new variety, and you can easily see why they’re creating a stir among cut-flower growers, pot-plant producers, and the smartest home gardeners. As always, Farmer Gracy is first with the best!
Gracy's gardening tip
