- Zantedeschia 'Captain Romance': Green flushed at their base, the rich pink spathes of this beautifularum lily surround contrasting, golden yellow spadices. Easy to mixwith most shades of pink, blue and purple, this cultivar will be anattractive addition to a reliably moist border. Grows to 65cm.
- Zantedeschia ‘Odessa’: Deep plum-coloured flowers, which look almost black in low light,are held on rich green stems above the clumps of lightly spotted,mid-green foliage. Its compact habit makes it a handsome specimenfor pots and containers on a sunny patio. Grows to 50cm.
- Zantedeschia aethiopica: One of the hardier forms, it is suitable for naturalising in milderclimates, and may retain its foliage throughout the winter. It ishowever for its pure white flowers, which are produced in successionfrom late spring, that it is most highly prized. Grows to 90cm.
- Garden care:Plant the tubers 7-10cm (3-4in) deep and 30cm (12in) apart into reliably moist,rich soil or good-quality potting compost. Water sparingly until new shootsstart to emerge and then start to water more regularly.

Originating from southern Africa where they are found colonising reliablymoist soils or lake margins, these elegant perennials are at their peakin summer when they produce their magnificent flowers.
These look beautiful in the border, but are also excellent for cutting andadding to the vase, where they will usually put on a long-lasting display.Tolerant of a little light shade, they will flower best in a sunny spot andthey should be fed and watered freely during the growing season.
Hardier forms may be left to form large clumps in sheltered gardens withthe protection of a deep winter mulch, while more tender cultivarswill need to be moved under glass for the winter months.
