Calla

Elegant, sculptural and wonderfully easy to grow, Calla lilies (Zantedeschia) bring a touch of the exotic to borders, patio pots and summer containers. Their smooth, arrow-shaped foliage makes a neat clump, topped with those iconic trumpet flowers in rich, velvety shades and crisp, bright tones. Callas love a sunny, sheltered spot and reward you with a long flowering season through the warmer months—perfect for adding colour to the garden and for cutting too. Plant the tubers in spring once the risk of frost has passed, keep them evenly moist as they grow, and you’ll be enjoying a standout display that looks far more “high-maintenance” than it actually is.
