We first saw this giant calla at the California garden of plantsman/garden writer Sonny Garcia and were literally blown away. Lining the walkway were these giant, green and white speckled-leaved Z. aethiopica callas, whose foliage topped out at waist high. Even more amazing were the 6' tall flower stems towering above my head. The flower is the classic, large, creamy-white cup typical of the species...except this selection has been doing some really good steroids. In our garden, we have only been able to muster 4' tall foliage and 5.5' tall flower spikes, but that's still not bad. Pot size: 24 fl. oz (709.77 ml)
