Anthurium schlechtendalii Anthurium schlechtendalii
Code: 69159
Price: $12.50

Quantity in Basket: none

Pheasant's Tail, Birdsnest Anthurium. Anthurium schlechtendalii is our best guess. Although, it could be a form of Anthurium hookerii. This is a large dramatic bird's nest anthurium. In the wild it's an epiphyte. Its vase shape is composed of bright green leaves more than six feet long and two feet wide. The inconspicuous inflorescence, which has a ripe banana-like fragrance, produces showy red fruit. Use as a tropical landscape accent in a wind protected garden or as a tubbed specimen. Protect from snails. Has survived in Southern California in USDA zone 9 with minimal frost protection. Native Mexico south to Nicaragua. Araceae

The juvenile leaves grow about 5 inches wide. Give large vertical space in shady area, where it can cling to the surface. Native to Borneo. USDA zones 10 - 12. Araceae

Zantedeschia aethiopica Hercules Zantedeschia aethiopica 'Hercules'
Code: 80012
Price: $11.50

Quantity in Basket: none

Hercules Calla Lily. This is the real 'Hercules'. A giant of the callas to 5 feet high with huge white flowers. Rare. We purchased this plant from Western Hills Nursery in Northern California 25 years ago. Our variety does not have spotted leaves. Western Hills also offered a form of 'Hercules' with spots on the leaves, which is the form that the San Francisco Botanical Garden grows as 'Hercules'. It's sometimes available at their plant sales. Both of these are forms of 'Hercules'.

The 'Spotted Giant' (see our offering) that we offer has more extensive spotting on the leaves and is a different variety.

Note: As these are starter plants in 2¾ inch pots, it will probably take a couple of seasons to reach flowering size. It seems that climate has a lot to do with the eventual size of calla lilies. Those grown in the San Francisco Bay area usually grow much larger than if the same varieties are grown in Southern California. Araceae
