When you’re looking for a statement plant that lends an air of high-end sophistication, the calla lily is always a top contender.
Consistently elegant, callas add a unique flair to the garden with their distinctive chalice-like flowers in a range of luscious tropical colors supported by handsome upright foliage.
The striking colors come in a wide range of colors including apricot, black, burgundy, mauve, orange, peach, pink, purple, white, and yellow.
And they’re long-lasting, providing weeks of color in the spring or late summer garden, depending on when they were planted.
Tender perennials, callas flower from early to midsummer.
However, outside of their recommended hardiness range, callas may be grown as annuals – planted in spring for a striking late-season display from midsummer through September.

When they’re not in bloom, the strappy to heart-shaped foliage stays attractive and vibrant, sage to jade green in color and often adorned with luminous white freckles.
Easily cultivated, these plants grow from rhizomes and make a striking addition to beds, borders, and containers, and they can also be grown indoors as houseplants.
They attract butterflies and hummingbirds, but deer, rabbits, and rodents will typically leave them alone.
Just as alluring in a vase as in the garden, the white varieties are a favorite in wedding bouquets, and all colors make long lasting and eye-catching floral arrangements.
