Notes
'White Giant' calla lily (Zantedeschia aethiopica 'White Giant') is a perennial for borders, cut flowers, containers, and accents. It is hardy to USDA zone 8, or down to 10°F (-12°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average to wet, loamy or clay soil. Deer and rabbits rarely make it their first choice. It grows in a clump and reaches 48 to 84 inches tall. White spathes with yellow spadices open from early to late summer and have a sweet scent.
Pairs well with Virginia sweetspire, Totally Tangerine dahlia, and Lemongrass.
