Please note:
These bulbs are pre-order items and are expected to be dispatched in the last week of August or the first week of September, weather permitting.
Our specialist growers carefully hold back stock until the bulbs have properly cured and are ready for immediate planting to ensure the best results in your garden.
In the unlikely event that a specific variety does not cure properly or is deemed non-viable by the farm, we will refund you for that portion of your order.
If you add pre-order items to your cart, your entire order will be held until those items are ready to ship. To receive in-stock items sooner, we recommend placing two separate orders.

Easy Care, Enduring Beauty:
Caring for your Zantedeschia 'Morning Sun' is wonderfully straightforward, ensuring you enjoy its splendor with minimal fuss.
-
🌞 Light Love: This beauty adores bright, indirect light. If placing outdoors, choose a spot with morning sun and some afternoon shade, especially during our intense summer heat. Indoors, a well-lit room away from direct, harsh sunlight is ideal.
-
💧 Quench its Thirst: Keep the soil consistently moist but never waterlogged. Feel the topsoil; if it's dry to the touch, it's time to water. During its active growing and flowering season (typically spring and summer in South Africa), it will appreciate more frequent watering. Reduce watering as it heads into its dormant phase in late autumn.
-
🌱 Perfect Potting Mix: A well-draining potting mix is crucial. Look for a high-quality mix designed for flowering plants or add some perlite to a standard potting soil to enhance drainage.
-
🏡 Versatile Charm: Perfect for pots on your patio, brightening a sunny windowsill, or adding a tropical flair to your garden beds.
Bring the warmth and vitality of a South African 'Morning Sun' into your life today. This isn't just a plant; it's an experience, a daily dose of sunshine and happiness.
