Description
The Selina florist's Arum, also known as Zantedeschia Selina, is a hybrid bulbous plant native to New Zealand. This recent variety has buttery yellow flowers (spathes) or cones delicately infused with reddish-orange on the edges, from the middle to the end of summer. Its dark foliage is speckled with white. It is a non-hardy tuberous plant that requires warmth and a very rich moist soil to thrive. Very beautiful in bouquets, at the edge of water features, or even in pots submerged in shallow water.
Zantedeschia Selina is one of the many hybrids that have been obtained by cross-breeding two main species native to eastern and southern Africa, namely Zantedeschia rehmannii and Zantedeschia elliottiana. 'Selina' is a stemless species with large sagittate dark green leaves speckled with transparent white. Of medium size, it measures about 60cm (24in) in height. Like other hybrids, this plant requires specific growing conditions to flower. The flower, a characteristic of Arums, produces a highly ornamental spathe, almost 10cm (4in) in diameter, hiding a golden yellow spadix at its centre. Its thick roots penetrate perpendicularly into the growing medium, which are fleshy and running rhizomes. In nature, this plant grows in marshes that usually dry up in summer, under year-round hot climates. The vegetation dries up, and the tuber enters a period of dormancy. This vegetative cycle must be strictly respected in cultivation. Florist's Arums can live for many years if the cyclic rest period is well respected.
Zantedeschia Selina is particularly suitable for pot cultivation. It can also be planted in moist soil, near a water source, or even partially submerged during flowering.

Planting and care
Plant your Calla Selina bulbs from March to April, at a depth of 12cm (5in), spaced 15cm (6in) apart, preferably in a moist location. Apply organic fertilizer at planting and at least once a year. They can also be grown in large pots, ensuring regular watering to keep the soil moist, with fertilization every 2 months during the growing season. Mulch them at the first signs of cold weather and protect them with a bubble wrap cover, as they are not very hardy and do not tolerate winter humidity and frost well, especially north of the Loire River. In pots, store them indoors during winter. Over a few years, they will form beautiful flowering clumps from June to August. You can prune the foliage after the first frost.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, etc.)
It will vary according to where you live:- In zones 9 to 10 (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), flowering will occur about 2 to 4 weeks earlier.
- In zones 6 to 7 (Germany, Poland, Slovenia, and lower mountainous regions), flowering will be delayed by 2 to 3 weeks.
- In zone 5 (Central Europe, Scandinavia), blooming will be delayed by 3 to 5 weeks.
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, United Kingdom, Ireland, Netherlands).
It will vary according to where you live:
- In Mediterranean zones (Marseille, Madrid, Milan, etc.), autumn and winter are the best planting periods.
- In continental zones (Strasbourg, Munich, Vienna, etc.), delay planting by 2 to 3 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 2 to 4 weeks in autumn.
- In mountainous regions (the Alps, Pyrenees, Carpathians, etc.), it is best to plant in late spring (May-June) or late summer (August-September).
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
