Nearly Pure Black Blooms Up to 6 Inches Long! Dwarf plants with full-size blooms. Captain Palermo« is a bold, dramatic Calla, with large blooms of near-black, their edges gently ruffled. Long-blooming, with excellent holding power before and after cutting, and borne on compact plants, Captain Palermo« is essential for the cutflower-lover's garden.The highly-sought Captain« series of dwarf Callas is remarkable not only for the compact nature of its foliage but for the large size of its blooms. Expect it to set buds from late spring through late summer -- right up to frost in warmer climates! And these blooms measure 5 inches or more across -- on Captain Palermo«, it's more like 6 -- with the classic funnel shape and very richly colored markings.Best in partial to half shade, Captain Palmero« is ideal for cutting, container growth, and garden beauty. Its deep green foliage, speckled with white, makes splendid filler for indoor arrangements, and keeps the plant attractive even out of bloom.We are pleased to offer many of the Captain« Callas this season. As a companion to Captain Palermo« in garden or vase, try brilliant purple Captain Reno® or soft, pale yellow Captain Eskimo®. Captain Palermo« reaches 16 to 24 inches high and 6 to 9 inches wide. North of zone 9, dig up the bulb in fall and stored indoors for replanting next spring. When the flowering diminishes a little (after several years), dig up the bulb in early fall and divide it into new plants. Your Calla garden will just keep getting bigger and better! Zones 9-11.
