- Achimenes mexicana is a beautiful and easy member of the Gesneriad family that grows from curious elongated scaly rhizomes.
- It has gorgeous blue-purple flowers with a white throat. They are funnel-shaped and the colour is quite hard to capture photographically as in different lights they appear to oscillate between purple-blue and blue-purple.
- It should come as no surprise that this variety is a favorite among many for its high bloom count and solid, rich coloring. An excellent partner for white tuberous Begonias, these two create a gloriously contrasting display. Provide these easy growers with protection from the sun and regular water during active growth, and they’ll return the favor with months of bright blooms! Enjoy!

- Snip a few flowers for bouquets or other cut arrangements while in bloom. Doing so will not hurt your plants and having graceful, long-lasting blooms to bring indoors is one of the best reasons to grow Callas.
- Expect roots and top sprouts to form in the fall in warmer regions, with flowers emerging in the spring and summer.
- Amend poorly draining soil with organic material to raise the level 2–3″ and improve drainage as Callas will not thrive in waterlogged soil. Compost, finely ground bark, or composted manure all work a charm and are widely available.

The eye–or bud–should be facing up .Push down on the soil with your hands to remove any possible air pockets. Water the bulbs and after the water seeps into the soil, push down the soil again.Fertilize curcuma bulbs after planting. Use about one tablespoon of fertilizer labeled 15-15-15 (or 16-16-16 for large curcuma) and a bit less for small varieties

- Crinum lilies are large, heat and moisture loving plants, producing an abundant array of showy flowers in summer.
- Lilly like their soil rich, but exceptionally well-drained, so ideally create a mix from one part well-rotted manure, one part horticultural grit or sand, and two parts leaf mould. Two-thirds good compost mixed with one-third grit also does fine.

Crinum Planting Procedure:
- Each bulb needs to be planted right side up
- The more pointed end is considered the top
- Plant each bulb in a hole that is just deep enough that its neck is protruding from the soil and the bottom of the bulb is covered in soil
- Covering the entire bulb with soil and planting too deep discourages flowering
- Space bulbs at least 8 inches apart and water the planting site or container well after planting
- Plant the bulb, or place the potted bulb in a warm place with direct light since heat is necessary for the development of the stems.
