About Akela Calla Lily (Zantedeschia)

The Akela Calla Lily (Zantedeschia) has luxurious, sculpted amethyst coloured flowers adorned with darker throats and lighter purple exteriors. Their mesmerizing hues subtly shift with varying light, transitioning from a semi-gloss purple to a luscious plum and finally to a silky violet.

Relatively easy to grow, Akela Calla Lily rises elegantly on slender stems that reach a height of 14-18 inches (35-45 cm) surrounded by green sword-like leaves speckled with white dots. Displaying their beauty for weeks, from the heart of summer to fall, Calla Lilies effortlessly enhance borders, mixed perennial beds, containers, or floral arrangements. A favourite amongst hummingbirds, butterflies and other pollinators, they consistently grace your summer garden with an exquisite and captivating beauty.

How to Grow Calla Lilies

Planting Calla Lilies

  • Plant in spring after the last frost.
  • If you cannot plant your bulbs and perennials right away, store them in a cool, dry, dark location, like a basement.
  • Plant them with the pointy end up in a sunny to semi-shaded area about 8 cm (3 in) deep and 40 to 45 cm (16 to 18 in) apart.
  • When planted in a container, 3 rhizomes are perfect for a 30 cm (12 in) pot.
  • Water thoroughly after planting.

Growing Calla Lilies

  • These bulbs will grow in any normal garden soil, but prefer moist well-drained soil and heavy feedings of organic matter.
  • These bulbs are easy to grow and look majestic in mass plantings or in containers.

Calla Lilies Care

  • Water as needed during active growth periods, but allow the soil to become dry between watering.
  • These flowers last a long time as cut flowers, making them popular for arrangements and bouquets.
  • These flowers attract hummingbirds and butterflies.

Winterizing Calla Lilies

  • These bulbs are not winter hardy and need to be dug up after the first frost.
  • Do not wash but dry the bulbs for a day.
  • Store away from drafts at 5 °C to 10 °C (40 °F to 50 °F) in a paper bag or box filled with dry peat moss.
