Description White heart-shaped, funnel-like flowers with long yellow stamens on long fleshy stalks (50-80cm) in spring to early summer. Glossy and broad dark green leaves. A yellow variety is available, and hybrids come in pinks, apricots and violet. Popular for flower arrangements.
Growing This genus includes frost-tender to marginally frost-hardy species. Zantedeschia prefer well-drained soil and are best grown in friable loam with plenty of compost or rotted organic matter. Most are intolerant of dry conditions and are thus suitable for semi-shaded and damp positions. They grow naturally on stream margins, so give them plenty of water! Fertilise yearly in late winter. As this is a rhizomic plant, propagation is best by division in late winter.   (For more detailed information go to RESOURCES and download the factsheet for "Calla Lily".)
