White Calla Lilly
Best elegant floral choice for gardeners seeking deer-resistant container accents.
The White Calla Lilly is an herbaceous perennial known for its classic beauty, often featured in weddings. It develops a mound of glossy, dark green, arrow-shaped leaves, contrasted by striking white, funnel-shaped flowers rising above the foliage. This plant thrives in full sun to partial shade and prefers consistently moist, well-drained soil. It is suitable for garden beds, mass planting, or as an upright 'thriller' in container arrangements. While deer tend to leave it alone, be aware that parts of this species are known to be toxic to humans and animals, requiring careful placement.
