VAN ZYVERDEN Calla Bulbs aethiopica (Set of 5)

Calla Lilies (Zantedeschia) are not true lilies at all, as they are stemless plants whose flowers and leaves rise directly from the rhizomes (bulb). They are actually arum and jack-in-the-pulpit family members. Commonly commercially grown as a very popular cut flower and one of the world’s most iconic and widely known plants. Can be used in borders, containers, pond peripheries, water gardens and/ or as house plants. Sometimes referred to as African lily, it is a herbaceous perennial and can be deciduous or semi-evergreen. Calla aethiopica typically grow into huge clumps and grow very large arrowhead-shaped leaves. Sometimes the flowers are amazingly followed by orange berry-like fruits. Overwinter in the northern zones, by planting in containers and placing them in a frost free environment during the winter months. May survive zone 7 winters with winter protection, such as mulching. Choose the location wisely, as letting them be, they will grow into larger and larger bold plants.
