Long considered a sign of new life and rebirth, calla lilies are closely linked to the Easter season. Modern hybrids occur in a variety of hues in addition to the basic species’ all-white blossoms. The long-blooming flowers, commonly referred to as spathes, provide enduring color to pots, borders, mass plantings, and cut flower bouquets. This tropical plant, which is grown from root systems, is also offered as a houseplant at flower shops.

A perennial herbaceous or semi-evergreen plant, calla lilies are propagated from rhizomes. The heart of tubular, pointed-tipped flowers is a long spadix that resembles a finger. White, yellow, orange, pink, red, purple, green, and black are some of the colors that blooms can be. Above broad, solid green or speckled leaves, tall, graceful stems rise.

Callas show no signs of slowing down as cut flowers given the diversity of spathe colors that are available, such as mango, cinnamon, ember, molten, vermilion, sunset, flaxen, canary, fire engine, or smeared lipstick.

Valentine’s Day and Mother’s Day are both great occasions to show your love and appreciation with calla lily bouquets. Calla lilies are another common flower used in wedding bouquets, decorations, corsages, and boutonnieres.
