A Zantedeschia hybrid, commonly called calla lily, and member of the Callafornia Calla® Series, Callafornia Red is a tender, rhizomatous perennial, often grown as an annual. It has an upright habit, and although it makes a gorgeous specimen plant, it is shown to best effect when massed or grouped. Calla lily grows equally well in garden or container, outdoors or indoors.

Easy to grow and virtually trouble-free, calla lily grows best in sunny to partly sunny locations with organically rich, consistently moist, well-draining soil, with best flowering in full sun. Callafornia Red is heat tolerant, but in hot summer climates, it may benefit from some filtered afternoon shade. Calla lily also benefits from regular watering and feeding with a liquid fertilizer high in potash.
