The 'Hercules' Calla Lily!

Welcome to the rare "monster" version of the common Calla Lily! Unlike the typical white Calla, the Hercules form has gorgeous white spots on the leaves, making it is beautiful even without flowers! Throughout much of the year it sends up towering 6-7 foot flower stalks, topped with huge, crisp-white flowers up to a foot across, with a bright yellow spadix in the center. The leaves on this plant are tremendous - up to 3 feet long! This is a breathtaking centerpiece plant that will amaze your guests.

The tubers of the Hercules Calla are hardy to Zone 8 (20°F/-6°C) if planted deep. In colder areas, grow it in a large container and bring it indoors over the winter. Indoors, it doesn't go dormant like some Callas, and will stay green all year! It is fast-growing and very easy to grow. Simply give it well-draining soil that's kept moist, and feed it occasionally. It doesn't need as much sun as the common Calla, and should be shaded from hot afternoon sun. It does very well as a shade plant.

The blooms make great cut flowers - if you have a big enough vase!

The Hercules Calla starts blooming at a young age, and the flowers get progressively bigger as the plant grows larger. Eventually they can get quite gigantic. The blooms are long-lasting and make great cut flowers. Over time, the plant multiplies readily into offshoots, forming a huge stand! William in Washington says: "What a monster!!"
