Calla Lily 'Green Goddess', Arum Lily 'Green Goddess'
A favorite of florists thanks to its stunning color and delightful fragrance, Calla Lily ‘Green Goddess’ (Zantedeschia aethiopica) is extraordinary with its abundant and large creamy white trumpet-shaped flowers (spathes), shading to bright green from the edges toward their white center, atop elegant, bright green, arrow-shaped leaves. On display for weeks in the garden or patio from late spring to midsummer!
Native to South Africa, Calla Lilies deserve a spot in the garden or at home. Whether used in borders, containers or as cut flowers, they always provide a spectacular effect with their rich, cheerful colors and their breathtaking trumpet-shaped flowers (spathe) surrounding a yellow finger-like stalk (spadix). And they are so easy to grow! With very little work needed, they will burst into bloom and add bright notes of summer color to the garden, or to your pots inside your home.
