Calla 'Black Eyed Beauty' (Ships in Spring)

Zantedeschia

Calla Lily 'Black Eyed Beauty' features buttery-yellow blooms with a deep, almost black center, creating a dramatic contrast. The elegant, funnel-shaped flowers rise above lush, arrow-shaped green foliage speckled with white, adding texture and interest to garden beds and containers. Blooming in summer, this variety thrives in full sun with well-drained, compost-rich soil and requires consistent moisture during the growing season. Hardy in USDA zones 8 and above, it can be grown as an annual in colder climates, with bulbs lifted and stored for winter. 'Black Eyed Beauty' is deer-resistant and makes an excellent choice for cut arrangements and container plantings.

Growing and Maintenance Tips for Calla 'Black Eyed Beauty' (Ships in Spring)

Planting: In spring, plant rhizomes after the last frost when soil has warmed to at least 60°F. Set them just below the surface—about 3 to 4 inches deep—with the growing points facing upward.
Location: Choose a spot in full sun or partial shade. In hotter climates, afternoon shade helps prevent stress.
Soil: Use fertile, humus-rich, moist but well-drained soil.
Watering: Keep soil consistently moist during active growth, especially in dry spells. Avoid waterlogging.
Temperature: Ideal range is 60–75°F. In zones below 8, grow as annuals or lift rhizomes in fall.
Fertilization: Feed every 2–3 weeks with a high-potash fertilizer—liquid seaweed is a great organic option.
Pruning: Remove spent blooms and yellowing foliage to tidy the plant and encourage new growth.
Pest & Disease: Watch for aphids, thrips, and fungal issues. Ensure good air circulation and avoid soggy soil.
Propagation: Divide rhizomes in spring before planting.
