Plant Calla in the garden or in a pot
Calla with the Latin name Zantedeschia aethiopica should not be confused with the marsh calla (Calla palustris). Both species look very similar, but have different location and care requirements.
In principle, you can keep all varieties of Zantedeschia in the house or in the garden.
The care is not significantly different. With both types of cultivation, you need to ensure adequate moisture during the flowering period.
Calla blooms at different times
When the species of calla lily you have planted will bloom depends on whether you are growing them indoors or in the garden.
