Zantedeschia aethopica ‘Crowborough’


Calla Lily

USDA Zone: 8-9

Plant number: 1.585.100


White Calla Lilies are hardy only in our mildest winter regions, but gardeners in other areas can enjoy them in pots or tubs, and winter them indoors. This British selection is among the hardiest, forming a sturdy clump of leathery green leaves, bearing tall stems of white flowers, with a yellow centre. Excellent for cutting. Choose a site that remains evenly moist, for best results. To winter in pots, simply bring indoors in late fall, cut back to about 2 inches, and stop watering until March. Plants require a winter rest period. CAUTION: Harmful if eaten/Skin and eye irritant.
