Zantedeschia aethiopica

(L.) Spreng. 1826

Plants cultivated outdoors.

This plant was growing in water, from Spring to Autumn.
It was growing together with Calla palustris, a juvenile Lysichiton americanus and Lemna minor.
This plant wintered in the ground. The photos above show how it looked in the beginning of July. The photos below were taken in September.

Z. aethiopica growing in Nantes (France).	It can be cultivated in gardens in Poland (zone 6b/7a). It puts the leaves up in May or later. It blooms rarely, sometimes in Autumn it does. This one had been growing outdoors for three years. The winter of 2002/2003 has killed it.
Two photos of Zantedeschia aethiopica #2. Planted in the ground in 2002, it prepared to bloom at the end of October, but cold days came and the spathe did not open. It was dug 15 cm below the ground level, so the brown petioles were not visible.
