Zantedeschia aethiopica ‘Crowborough’ | ‘Crowborough’ arum lily (hardy calla) | Marginal Plant

• Marginal Plant - submerge slightly
• Plant in sun or partial shade in wet soil or water
• A bright and versatile accent plant
• Low maintenance and beneficial to wildlife

‘Crowborough’ features large, lush, arrow-shaped, glossy dark green leaves that can reach up to 18 inches long, creating a bold, somewhat tropical effect in temperate gardens.

In late spring and summer, it produces elegant, pure white, trumpet-shaped spathes (the 'flowers'), each surrounding a yellow spadix. These are long-lasting and excellent for cutting.

This particular variety is renowned for its increased hardiness compared to many other Zantedeschia species, capable of surviving winters in many UK regions with some protection or in a sheltered spot. It adds a touch of sophistication to bog gardens or shallow pond edges.

Plant in full sun to partial shade in rich, humus-heavy, moist to wet soil. It can be grown in shallow water (up to 2-3 inches / 5-7cm over the crown) during the growing season. Mulch well in autumn in colder areas.
