Zantedeschia Flame (Calla Lily)

Sizzling bicoloured spathes become less yellow and more orange and red as they age, elegantly curling around red and yellow spadices. Floral chambers are flushed green from the stems, blending seamlessly into juicy tube-like stems, surrounded by broad, wavy foliage. Native to the hot and humid climates of South Africa, the Calla Lily is mostly found by lakes in moist soils, therefore prefers well-drained soil in a full or half sun location. Calla Lilies are dramatic additions to outdoor gardens with their distinctive funnel-shaped blossoms, but also make excellent cut flowers. We recommend accompanying them with low-growing plants to provide filling foliage over the base areas and covering up those thin stems. Anything that provides fullness and has a shallow root system serves best as a Calla companion, such as New Guinea Impatiens, Astilbes or Hydrangeas. 16cm+ tubers supplied. Flowers May to October. Height 40-45cm.
