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 40 cm (15in) tall and 30 cm (12in) wide. The plant is slightly frost hardy, preferring a well composted soil in an area protected from strong winds and in part shade.
