Black Calla Lily (Arum palaestinum): Dramatic Dark Purple Spathe

Black Calla Lily (Arum palaestinum) is a striking aroid with a large, dramatic, deep purple-black spathe surrounding a dark purple spadix — one of the darkest flowers in cultivation. Blooming in spring, its foliage is large and arrow-shaped. Native to the Levant, it goes dormant in summer. A unique collector's plant for shaded, well-drained gardens.
