Zantedeschia
Zantedeschia, the calla lily, are the summer equivalent of the early single tulips for their vibrant colour and eye-catching effect. Always a favourite with florists, our modern hybrids make compact free flowering plants ideal for both containers and the border. Native to wet marshlands in South Africa, they need plenty of water without being in wet soil; a well-drained rich soil is ideal. June through August flowering.

Getting the Best Results for Zantedschia
Although these plants originate from the marshes of South Africa, they thrive in gardens that are consistently kept wet, but are well-drained. This is because the rhizomes need good drainage, as they are prone to rotting, and they should take root well in rich, well-draining soil.
If frost is imminent after you plant the rhizomes, be sure to take steps to protect your newly planted rhizomes, especially if they have sprouted. You can cover the sprout with frost cloth, or relocate your container to a more sheltered area. This will prevent the shoots from suffering from extreme frost damage, and it will have no impact on the growth of the shoots.
Provided that the right conditions are kept, the plants will flourish and offer an interest during the summer.
