Summary

Zantedeschia rehmannii, commonly known as Pink Calla Lily, is a deciduous perennial herb native to the grasslands and wetland margins of South Africa. It typically grows to 40 cm (15 in) tall and 30 cm (12 in) wide. The plant features a spathe that is mauve to rose-purple with paler margins, surrounding a prominent yellow spadix. The flowering season occurs in summer, and the flowers are quite showy, making it a popular ornamental choice. Its green leaves are semi-erect and differ from other species by not being arrow-shaped. Zantedeschia rehmannii is slightly frost hardy.

The Pink Calla Lily is valued for its striking spathe and spadix, which add a splash of color to gardens. It is often used in border plantings, as a focal point in garden beds, or in containers. While it can tolerate part shade, it flourishes with medium water requirements in well-composted soil and protection from strong winds. It is not as robust as some other species in the genus and may require mulching in colder climates to protect it from frost.CC BY-SA 4.0
