'Crowborough' calla lily (Zantedeschia aethiopica 'Crowborough') is a bulb for borders, containers, cut flowers, and rain gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 8, or down to 10°F (-12°C). This plant likes full or part sun and moist to wet, loamy or clay soil. Deer and rabbits tend to browse other plants first. It blooms in early to late summer with fragrant flowers that attract bees. It grows in a clump at a moderate pace.
