Calla has a simple, elegant shape: a smooth cup on a straight stem. Despite its English name it is not a true lily, and it lasts longer in a vase than in floral foam.

Children: Chewing it causes burning and swelling of the mouth and throat, and the sap irritates skin. Keep it away from small children.

Pets: Causes mouth irritation, drooling and vomiting in pets if eaten.

How to care for it

  1. Hold it by the stem, not the flower; the cup bruises easily.
  2. Stem ends may split and curl in water; that is harmless. A band of clear tape prevents it.
  3. Check the water level daily, and note the sap can stain clothes.
Did you know? Calla belongs to the same family as anthurium, not the lily family.
