Notes
'Green Goddess' calla lily (Zantedeschia aethiopica 'Green Goddess') is a perennial for borders, cut flowers, containers, and rain gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 7, or down to 0°F (-18°C). This plant likes full or part sun and moist to wet, loamy or clay soil. White flowers have tips dipped in green, and the arrow-shaped leaves reach three to four feet. Deer and rabbits rarely make it their first choice. Mulch with fallen leaves around the plant to protect the crowns in winter.
Pairs well with Thalia, Big bluestem, and Purple loosestrife.
