I have bought the following varieties of Zantedeschia - Black Pearl (Trumpet Lily), aethiopica Green Goddess and aethiopica Crowborough - http://www.crocus.co.uk/search/_/search.Zantedeschia/
I am going to be planting them in our south facing Back Garden in Southampton, Hampshire. I have been reading that they like a lot of water. Unfortunately I do not have a pond or stream in our garden.
How much water do thse plants REALLY need? Will watering them every evening be ok?
Are they ok to be planted in full sun or do they really need a bit of shade?
I have read that they are slightly frost hardy. As I live in Southampton on the South Coast of England, do they think they will be ok to be left in the ground through out the winter?
I have read various articles about them on various web sites and I am getting a lot of conflicting information!!!!!!
