Description

In the jungle, the mighty jungle, the lion roars tonight… You can’t safely bring the King of the Jungle home with you, but you can securely bring the colours of his African homeland right into your garden. The Calla Lily (Zantedeschia) 'Lion' collection does that for you. This breath-taking collection links the African sunset colours of red orange and deep yellow, in one of the two calla lilies included, and sets this off vividly with a contrasting bright yellow lily. Plant these in large groups to give the effect of a pride of lions on a hot savannah in Africa. This collection will provide a truly warm and wonderful spectacle.

Gracy's gardening tip
"Some Calla Lily varieties (like this Lion collection) come with an attractive white dotted foliage, giving them even more flair!"
