Zantedeschia without flowers

The most popular form of Zantedeschia, aethiopica, the large white one, is commonly known as the Easter lily.

Easter is when they are supposed to flower - in April.

I have some of those growing in containers. I simply move the containers into a frost free place during the worst of the Winter, and move them outside March time. We can still get frosts during April.

You can find novelty coloured varieties in garden centres, which are in flower now. I don't know much about those, how they should be cared for, or when they naturally flower.

The more colourful ones generally need more sunshine and warmth to flower. I have one at home which started flowering only a week or so ago, and it was planted in about April.

I'd agree that they are best kept in their pots over winter, it seems to give them a head start.

I've always left mine in, the large white ones & they flowered well for years, just disappearing below the ground in winter & back up reliably every year. 

They have stopped flowering come to think of it though, just big green leaves. Maybe they need dividing?

One is in the bog garden, one in a sunny bed. I am about 8 miles in from the south coast, so relatively mild. 

I know the type. That's one of the small and colourful varieties, that needs sun and warmth, and TLC.

If it's only a small pot then it should be fairly easy to bring it inside during the Winter. I don't know whether you can keep them as houseplants.

In my experience they tend to get a bit lanky - they really do need plenty of light.

i had a good sized clump of the large white variety growing in a bed about 2 foot from the front of my house which i left in year after year and it always done well. i moved house at the start of march and couldnt bare to leave them them, so i dug them up and they split naturally into 3 seperate clumps which i have planted around the edge of my new garden. They have all done fantastic this year with plenty of flowers per clump, Im going to leave them in again this winter as per usual and see how they do further away from the house.

fingers crossed.... i will post in spring to let you know how they got on!
