Thanks Elaine :)
We also got confirmation from our social media that it could be Zantedeschia aethiopica or Calla lily
I hope that is helpful?
Cheers Ben

Looks like an arum of some sort. Are they in a bed or in a shady/woodland area? If they're in a bed, they may be an ornamental variety - My Zantedeschia aethiopica are already emerging as the winter's been so warm. If they're growing n a hedge or woodland area, probably Arum italicum which many regard as a weed. Some of my A. italicum are coming up and they don't show any signs of marbling on the leaves yet.

Zantedeschia plants are prone to getting yellowing of the leaves and this usually means they need a feed. have you tried a slow release feed that feeds up to a 6 month period? otherwise all you can do is just remove the yellowing of the leaves and keep them moist but not too wet.

In forum: Zantedeschia aethiopica
I have recently planted 3 large specimen Zantedeschia aethiopica which were doing really well until this last week. Despite watering them every night, the leaves are turning yellow and the trumpet flowers are dying. They are planted in a south facing sheltered spot in full sun. The ground is very wet and the surface is mulched with bark chips. Help! Any suggestions would be very welcome. Thanks in advance. Brian
