    Don’t spend your money on it! My two didn’t grow tall even with my experience growing others from another company in the past. I’m very disappointed but I can’t get my money back. Sorry for the bad news. They were supposed to be gorgeous.

    Calla Lily Bulbs - Aethiopica

    Store owner replied: Hello Tera P. Thank you for your review of Eden Brothers! We greatly appreciate you bringing this to our attention. It's so important to have feedback like this so we can continually improve our products and planting instructions. The later planting time gave them less time to establish before the peak summer heat. After speaking with our Customer Service Team, it seems we were able to resolve this for you by refunding you. Please know that we are always here if you are having an issue and we are happy to help. Thanks for your time in sharing your experience with us!

    I looked every where for big old fashioned Calla Lily Bulbs and was very pleased to find them on Eden Brothers site. It was already Summer and so I just popped them into a pot, and watered and waited. No Bloom this year, but hopping for next year.
