Sowing Instructions:
Start sowing Arum Lily Pink Splash seeds indoors in early spring (February to March). Sow the seeds in a shallow tray or container filled with seed compost, just barely covering them with a fine layer of compost. Water gently and keep the tray in a warm environment, ideally between 18-21°C, as warmth is key to germination. Keep the compost moist but not soggy, and germination should take place in 14-28 days.
Once the seedlings have developed strong roots and a few true leaves, you can transplant them into individual pots or directly into their final outdoor positions once the weather warms up and all risk of frost has passed (usually after May). When planting outdoors, choose a sheltered spot with partial shade to full sun and well-drained, fertile soil.
Growing Tips:
Arum Lily Pink Splash prefers rich, well-drained, and slightly acidic soil, and it thrives in a partially shaded or full-sun location. When planting, ensure the soil is prepared by incorporating plenty of organic matter such as compost to encourage good root development. Water regularly but avoid waterlogging, as this can lead to root rot. The plant enjoys consistent moisture, particularly during its growing season, but it’s important to allow the soil to dry out slightly between waterings.
Mulching around the base of the plant can help retain moisture and suppress weeds, while also providing protection to the roots. If planting in containers, use a well-draining potting mix designed for bulbs or tubers.
Flowering and Maintenance:
Arum Lily Pink Splash blooms from late spring to early summer, producing elegant, large, trumpet-shaped flowers with beautiful pink and white markings. After flowering, you can cut back spent blooms and allow the plant to continue growing to maintain its lush foliage.
In colder climates, where the plant may not survive winter outdoors, you can dig up the tubers after the flowering season and store them in a cool, dry location until the next spring. In milder climates, Arum Lily Pink Splash will thrive year after year, reappearing to give you a beautiful show of blooms each season.
Hardiness:
Arum Lily Pink Splash is frost-tender, so it is ideal for warmer climates or for gardeners who are willing to dig up the tubers in winter. In areas with colder winters, it can be grown in containers and brought indoors or stored in a frost-free place during the colder months.
Whether you grow it in a garden bed, a patio container, or as a striking indoor plant, Arum Lily Pink Splash offers a touch of glamour and beauty that is sure to impress. With minimal care and attention, this beautiful plant will reward you with show-stopping blooms and vibrant colour year after year.
