Summary
Zantedeschia albomaculata, commonly known as Spotted Calla Lily, is an evergreen or semi-deciduous perennial herb native to the grasslands, marshy areas, and stream banks of Southern Africa. It typically grows to a height and width of 1-2 feet (0.3-0.6 meters). The plant is characterized by its arrow-shaped leaves that are flecked with white spots, and its distinctive flowers, which consist of a spadix surrounded by a spathe that can be yellow, green, orange, pink, purple, red, or white, blooming in the summer and fall. The flowers are particularly showy, making it a popular ornamental plant.
The Spotted Calla Lily is valued for its striking flowers and is often used in border plantings, container gardens, and as cut flowers due to their long vase life. It thrives in moist, well-drained soils and prefers full sun to part shade. While it requires high amounts of water, it is important to avoid waterlogging. It is relatively easy to maintain but can be susceptible to root rot if overwatered and is prone to aphids and spider mites. Gardeners should be aware that all parts of the plant are toxic if ingested.CC BY-SA 4.0
