    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    Portland native, Frank Patterson's selection of this calla shines with its glossy green leaves, black edged with white spots, and its dramatic, dark black flowers. Truly a stunner in the garden or as a cut flower. To 24" tall and clumping. A moist, sunny spot seems to bring out the color best, but please don't let it dry out. Frost hardy in USDA zone 8. Lift where temperatures drop below 10 °F. PP 14926

    A choice calla with handsome spotted leaves, edged in dark reddish-purple and exotic flowers of the same color. Great for pots.
