Plant in full sun (coastal) or light shade, keeping soil moist when plants are in active growth. If possible keep dry from fall through winter while plants are dormant. Can be lifted and replanted in early spring.

This was the first of the winter dormant hybrid Calla we grew. We sold it from 1992 until 2004. These winter dormant Calla lilies with Zantedeschia elliotiana, Zantedeschia rehmanni and Zantedeschia pentandii parentage all seemed to resent our wet winter soils. We initially grew these parent species in the 1990s but moved on to growing the hybrids by 1992. They were good looking plants in their first years when we sold them, but we stopped growing all of these hybrids by 2008 because, like the parent species, they were not sustainable in our gardens without the corms being lifted. 

The information about Zantedeschia 'Super Gem' displayed on this web page is based on our research conducted in the nursery's horticultural library and from reliable online resources. We also include observations made about it as it grows in our nursery gardens and other gardens we have visited, as well how the crops have performed in containers in our nursery field. We will also incorporate comments we receive from others and welcome hearing from anyone with additional information, particularly if they can share cultural information that would aid others in growing this plant.
