Bloomsz Marginal Bog Plant Calla Aethiopica - Root Truly iconic and widely known, the Calla Aethiopica is a stand-out along the edges of ponds and water gardens. Large clumps of broad, glossy green, arrowhead-shaped leaves are often spotted with white. Emerging atop a leafless stalk is a brilliant white flower, actually a bract, that wraps around a yellow finger-like projection in its center. Blooming from late spring to mid-summer, Calla Aethiopica can also be grown successfully in containers that must be brought indoors before the first frost and treated as houseplants Commonly called a Calla Lily, the flowers are often seen in wedding bouquets Striking when a single flower is placed in a clear glass vase and used as a centerpiece on a table Easy to grow and winter hardy Growing Instructions: Bog and marginal water plants do best in shallow water up to 6 deep and should be planted after the spring chill has subsided. To make planting easy, our bog and marginal plants come in a special drop and grow net bag, each containing the rhizome, and planting fiber. Simply remove the net bag from the plastic bag, place/plant the net bag at the waters edge, and cover it with the ponds soil. In Zone 6 or warmer, the plants can be left in place and not moved at all during the winter months. Fertilize in spring and summer, removing yellow leaves and spent flowers regularly
