Characteristics and comment: The Zantedeschia, also called calla lily, is a species that makes white flowers with green leaves.

This Zantedeschia variety is called “White Giant” and can grow flowers up to 6’ tall (180 cm.) in the best growing conditions, it grows taller and bigger during the years while the rhizome develops.

Flowers are like classical zantedeschia with a white spathe and yellow center, but the leaves are green with white dots.

Can be grown in a large pot or planted directly in soil. In winter time with ice the plant will die but the rhizome will survive and will sprout again in spring time.

Can be grown submerged with 10-30 cm. of water deep, or in the pond border where soil remains moist. Good fertilization helps the plant to grow bigger and develop faster during the mild season.

With hot temperatures the plant will go dormant and growth will be slower.
