The Cantor calla lily (Zantedeschia) is a variety that will definitely attract attention of all your garden visitors. This plant surprises not only with the appearance, but with the colour of its flowers too. Those deeply crimson blooms look almost black at times, depending on the lighting. The colourful spathe that protects the dense, cob-like cluster of flowers is thick and shiny, as if it was made of wax. The beautiful, juicy green leaves covered with a silvery spotted pattern constitute yet another asset of that variety. The entire plant looks elegant and noble. Calla lily's exotic looks perfectly fit planters, gardens, and vases as cut flower. This splendid species gains more and more following. No wonder, as bog arum looks equally spectacular in a pot or seasonally in a garden. Calla lily blooms from June to September.
