Zantedeschia 'Odessa,' commonly known as Calla Lily, derives its name from the Greek word for 'beautiful,' a fitting description for these exquisite flowers. The funnel-shaped calyxes showcase a diverse range of colours, including yellow, white, red, purple, pink, orange, black, and bicoloured varieties. The spear-shaped leaves of Calla Lily plants add to their allure, featuring a speckled or uniform green appearance.
Cultivating Zantedeschias, or Calla Lilies, is generally low maintenance. Key considerations involve proper planting and selecting an optimal location. These plants thrive when planted in full sun or partial shade. Spring is the preferred planting time, ensuring the frost has passed, and the soil has sufficiently warmed.
Zantedeschias can also thrive in containers, either outdoors or as houseplants in sunny windows. With attention to these planting guidelines, Zantedeschia 'Odessa' can grace your garden or home with its captivating beauty.
