Did You Know? Calla Lily Facts
Calla lilies are native to South Africa and were first catalogued in the
mid 1700s. The flower features a spathe, which is the outer part of the
flower and the spadix, which refers to the yellow spike in the middle of
the flower. Interestingly, the spathe is a modified leaf more than it is
a petal.
These flowers are well known for their hardiness. They can grow almost
anywhere, even in water, and can even survive the icy chill of frost.
