How to grow zantedeschia

Zantedeschias are bold, exotic-looking plants with large fluted flowers that stand above clumps of lush, glossy foliage. The flowers come in a choice of colours, from pure white to yellow, orange, pink or rich purple. Some are hardy, but many are tender and need to be kept frost free. All will bring eye-catching tropical flair to containers and borders.
