Zantedeschia aethiopica ‘Marshmallow’
Demure, lovely and pretty in pale pink. This hardy calla lily offers soft pink spathes that are darker pink inside and centred with the usual yellow spadix. A great colour departure from the usual white available in other hardy callas. Deep green arrow-shaped leaves. Green until hard frosts. Mulch with fallen leaves – pack leaves around the perimetre and right into the centre of the plant to protect the crowns in winter. Calla lilies can be slow to bulk up in the garden so investing in a larger size is a good idea.
