Calla Lily 'Flame' (Zantedeschia elliottiana)

Calla Lily 'Flame': A Fiery Yellow Calla

Calla Lily 'Flame' is a cultivar of Zantedeschia elliottiana (the Golden Calla) featuring large, showy spathes (the "flower") that are a rich golden yellow, dramatically flared with deep red at the base and sometimes along the margins, resembling a flame. The foliage is large, arrow-shaped, and attractively white-spotted. It blooms in late spring to summer.

Tender Rhizome for Pots and Borders

Plant rhizomes in spring after frost in rich, moist soil, full sun to part shade. In zones 8 and colder, lift rhizomes in autumn and store dry and cool. It makes a stunning container plant or summer border accent. The "flame" coloration is most intense in cool, bright conditions. A dramatic twist on the classic white calla.
