Re: Zantedeschia availability??

From: "Kathy Kempf" wont_read101 at hotmail.com> on 2002.05.08 at 20:51:04(8736) George, All my callas came from a single tuber; as a regular thing, the ones planted where they receive more than 6 hours of sun/day (full sun) stand up straight; the ones that receive <1 hour sun/day droop. The ones that get from 1-6 hours kind of droop. I assumed it was more a function of the amount of sun received rather than dependent on the species. No, I don't deliberately place any of mine in full shade; these are mostly volunteers, or maybe from seed harvested by various insects/rodents and stored that have later sprouted. I come across them from time to time. They seem to survive our winter here (zone 6) with only the natural leaf mulch in our woodland. +More >From: "George R Stilwell, Jr." >Reply-To: aroid-l@mobot.org >To: Multiple recipients of list AROID-L >Subject: Re: Zantedeschia availability?? >Date: Sun, 5 May 2002 21:57:12 -0500 (CDT) > >Kathy, > > >Seedpods tend to droop without full sun, .... > >Drooping seed heads are one of the characteristics that distinguish one >species from >another and are part of Dr. Singh's key for the genus.
