Calla (Zantedeschia) lilies are extraordinary flowers, are native to southern Africa, and are grown from rhizomes. They can be grown in beds, borders, in containers for cut flowers, and even indoors in a sunny window. Great for growing in a cutting garden and showing off indoors in your nicest vases. For the look and feel of a Tropical garden in North America, calla lilies definitely fit the bill, as their trumpet-shaped spathes and arrow-shaped leaves transport you to the tropics. Best of all, they are deer and rabbit resistant. The purple in this akela variety is a true, royal purple that also has faint streaks of cream. As it is a mini-dwarf hybrid, it does not grow as tall as some of the other calla lilies, making it an excellent choice for containers on a patio and/or deck.
