Planting Barracuda Calla Lily Bulbs:

• Planting Depth: Place bulbs about 2 to 4 inches deep and space them approximately 12 inches apart. 

Ideal Growing Conditions and Zones:

• Fertilization: Apply a balanced fertilizer during planting and consider a low-nitrogen fertilizer during the growing season. 

Care and Maintenance: 

• Mulching: Use mulch to retain soil moisture and suppress weed growth around the plants. 
• Deadheading: Remove spent flowers to encourage continuous blooming and prevent seed formation. 
• Pests and Diseases: Monitor for pests like aphids and snails. Use organic pest control methods to protect the plants. 

Blooming and Flower Development: 

• Blooming Period: Barracuda Calla Lilies typically bloom from late spring to early summer, producing elegant and colorful flowers. 
• Flower Care: Support tall stems if needed to prevent bending or breaking of the flowers.

By following these guidelines, gardeners can enjoy the exquisite beauty of these trumpet-shaped blooms, adding charm and allure to their garden or floral arrangements.
