Feature
- Commonly called a Calla Lily, the flowers are often seen in wedding bouquets
- Striking when a single flower is placed in a clear glass vase and used as a centerpiece on a table
- Easy to grow and winter hardy
- Truly iconic and widely known, the Calla Aethiopica is a stand-out along the edges of ponds and water gardens. Large clumps of broad, glossy green, arrowhead-shaped leaves are often spotted with white. Emerging atop a leafless stalk is a brilliant white flower, actually a bract, that wraps around a yellow finger-like projection in its center. Blooming from late spring to mid-summer, Calla Aethiopica can also be grown successfully in containers that must be brought indoors before the first frost and treated as houseplants
- Growing Instructions: Bog and marginal water plants do best in shallow water up to 6" deep and should be planted after the spring chill has subsided. To make planting easy, our bog and marginal plants come in a special drop and grow net bag, each containing the rhizome, and planting fiber. Simply remove the net bag from the plastic bag, place/plant the net bag at the water's edge, and cover it with the pond's soil. In Zone 6 or warmer, the plants can be left in place and not moved at all during the winter months. Fertilize in spring and summer, removing yellow leaves and spent flowers regularly
