Calla Lily (Zantedeschia aethiopica), also known as Arum Lily, is a rhizomatous perennial celebrated for its iconic, pure white, funnel-shaped spathes surrounding a golden spadix. Its lush, arrow-shaped green foliage forms attractive clumps. Native to southern Africa, it thrives in moist soils and partial shade, making it a staple in water gardens, borders, and bridal bouquets.
