Overview

The calla lily (Zantedeschia cvs) is a stunning and showy flower which adds an air of elegance to any garden. The glossy leaves are held atop long, strong stems while the waxy white, yellow or purple blooms bring a splash of colour to the garden. The flowers usually grow in clusters and last up to 10 days once cut, meaning they’re perfect for cutting and creating long-lasting floral arrangements. When grown in the right conditions, these beautiful, eye-catching lilies can thrive for many years. A great low maintenance choice for flower lovers.
