Calla Captain Tendens

Extraordinary Color Combination! The renowned Captain series blooms for months! A unique and very distinctive Calla of deep gold with burgundy highlights, Captain Tendens« is a showstopper in garden or vase. Few Callas can rival it for fine color, between the pencil-thin edging of its petals, the faint stripes on the petal exteriors, and the rich gold interiors. Long-blooming, with excellent holding power before and after cutting, and borne on compact plants, Captain Tendens« 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, with the classic funnel shape and very richly colored markings.Best in partial to half shade, Captain Tendens« is ideal for cutting, container growth, and garden beauty. Its deep green foliage, lightly flecked 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.
