Description

The only hardy variety for growing outdoors, Zantedeschia ‘Aethiopica’ is stately and serene. Reaching a statuesque height of up to 90cm, ‘Aethiopica’ stands head and shoulders above most Zantedeschia. Pure white, hooded spathes form a sleek vase shape, held above a backdrop of glossy, arrow-head leaves.

Originating from swampy regions of Africa, these perennials prefer a moisture-retentive soil and are well-suited to growing as a marginal water plant.

Bearing the accolade of an RHS Award of Garden Merit for reliability, this robust variety will soon form lush clumps. The sturdy, long-stemmed blooms are highly valued as long-lasting cut flowers.

Care Guide

Plant rhizomes 8-10cm deep in a container filled with good quality, free-draining multi-purpose compost.  Provide consistent watering, ensuring the soil stays moderately moist to maintain lush growth of your calla lilies.

Once flowers start to appear, feed plants every 3 weeks with high-potash liquid fertiliser.

Zantedeschia Aethiopica is the only fully hardy member of the family which may be grown outdoors all year round
