Zantedeschia, commonly known as calla lily, is a genus of flowering plants native to southern Africa. These perennial plants are known for their elegant, trumpet-shaped flowers that come in various colors, including white, yellow, pink, and purple. They thrive in moist, well-drained soil and are often found in gardens and as ornamental houseplants. The leaves of Zantedeschia are large, arrow-shaped, and can be green or variegated. While the flowers are often mistaken for true lilies, they belong to a different family. Zantedeschia is also popular in floral arrangements due to its striking appearance and long-lasting blooms.
