The Captain Fresco calla lily (Zantedeschia) is an intriguing plant. It produces numerous white flowers that make a suitable addition to a garden or, even better, to your pot plant collection. Its uniform colour, the shape of the flowers, and bright green leaf colouring give Calla lily a noble, stylish appearance. The stiff, thick stems hold flowers 40 to 50 centimetres over the ground. Leaves that shoot from long petioles take on a pointed, arrow-like shape. The speckles with which they are covered only add to their beauty. A dense tuft of the Captain Fresco calla lily makes an incredible impression. This unique plant can be found virtually at every florist shop. Flower experts love it for its simple, noble form, and excellent durability. Arum lily (a common, similarly misleading, name of the plant) inflorescences are used in bouquets and more intricate compositions. Thanks to the bulbs that are available in our online garden store, you can grow calla in pots or as a unique garden decoration.

Calla lily has certain requirements that you must respect in order to grow the plant successfully. This decorative plant needs warmth and light. Its bulbs develop well in a humous, light, permeable, continually moist soil. After the flowering period, plants should be brought into dormancy at a lower temperature. Plants grown in a garden in the soil should be dug out before the first colder days of autumn and then stored indoors, secured from frost.
