Good, you now have them in ideal conditions to flower next year. I had two Viburnum in pots when I moved house, one went straight into the ground and is a fully grown flowering tree the other I kept in its pot and it eventually got put in the ground about four years later, it took ages to achieve the height and flowering capabilities that the first one did.So I think you should find your plants will now thrive.

Thank you Patricia. They are planted in a fertile soil in my bog garden which has full sun. Regards

They need fertile, moist soil; they will grow in part shade with reduced flowering. As your plant has been in a pot the soil is probably not fertile enough. They grow in damp places at the edges of a pond, so I imagine you should plant it in decent soil, that is damp all year, but in a sunny location.

I was given a large specimen 2 years ago, it remained in a large pot because of moving, after moving early this year, I divided the specimen and planted. In all of this time I have not had one single flower. Has anyone any idea why this could be?

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 my garden I have Zantedeschia too- the flowers are finishing now it seems- seems like most of my plants flowering times has been sped up by this weather we have had.
Are all the leaves going yellow- or just the outside ones? What type of soil are they planted in? I know you said they are mulched- but in the afternoon when you feel the soil at the roots- is it bone dry or is it still moist?

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
