Calla (Zantedeschia) lilies are extraordinary flowers, are native to southern Africa, and are grown from rhizomes. They can be grown in beds, borders, in containers for cut flowers, and even indoors in a sunny window. Great for growing in a cutting garden and showing off indoors in your nicest vases. For the look and feel of a Tropical garden in North America, calla lilies definitely fit the bill, as their trumpet-shaped spathes and arrow-shaped leaves transport you to the tropics. Best of all, they are deer and rabbit resistant. Black star blooms are deep purple with a spathe that is almost black. The sword like foliage is light green, spotted white, and edged with red tips that are quite exceptional. A choice flower to use in floral decorations and perfect for use in containers on the patio or deck or in a garden border.
