Zantedeschia – Aethiopica ‘Calla Lily’

Description

Zantedeschia aethiopica – Arum Lily / Calla Lily

Zantedeschia aethiopica, commonly known as the Arum Lily or Calla Lily, is a striking and elegant marginal plant ideal for pond edges, damp borders, and container displays. This bold perennial is loved for its pure white, trumpet-shaped flowers (spathes) and lush, deep green foliage, which add a touch of sophistication and contrast to any garden setting.

Flowering from late spring through summer, the tall blooms of Zantedeschia stand gracefully above the foliage, making it a fantastic choice for architectural planting and floral arrangements. It thrives in moist, rich soil and can tolerate shallow water at the pond edge, especially during the growing season.

Zantedeschia aethiopica is semi-evergreen in mild climates and fully hardy in sheltered, frost-free areas. In colder regions, it may die back in winter but will re-emerge in spring if roots are protected from freezing.
