Zantedeschia (calla lily)Frost tender, perennial. (Aethiopica, Green Goddess and Pink Mist are frost hardy). Aethiopica is also known as the white arum or Lily-of-the-Nile, a perfect plant for the edge of a pond. Zantedeschia need full sun or partial shade and well-drained soil. They need to be watered sparingly until growth starts, then never let the plants lack moisture. A must-have for many gardeners, a classical beauty, highly prized by florists. Native habitat: South America
