Zantedeschia rehmanii Pink Arum Lily, Pink Calla is a herbaceous ornamental plant in the Araceae family.


[edit] Description

The spathe on this summer flowering Zantedeschia is mauve to rose-purple with paler margins, enclosing a yellow spadix. Its green unmarked leaves (this is a significant identifier) are semi erect and not arrow shaped as in other species.

It grows to 15in tall and 12in wide. The plant is slightly frost hardy, preferring a well composted soil in an area protected from strong winds and in part shade.
