Notes
'White Superior' calla lily (Zantedeschia aethiopica 'White Superior') is a bulb 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 moist to wet, loamy or clay soil. The large, creamy white spathes appear in early to late summer. The blooms are fragrant and attract bees.
