Notes
'Little Gem' calla lily (Zantedeschia aethiopica 'Little Gem') is a bulb for borders, cut flowers, containers, 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. The small white spathes appear from early to late summer on a dwarf, clumping plant. Deer and rabbits tend to pass it by. Bees visit the fragrant flowers.
Pairs well with Red Lion amaryllis, Boxwood, and Mexican petunia.
