Black Magic Cala lilies are a wonderful cut flower. It's easy to assemble sophisticated arrangements with very few flowers, and if you re-cut their stems often, they have a very long vase life. This variety of Cala Lily was introduced early in the 20th Century, and is one of the most sought after flowers imported from New Zealand. Its bright exotic flowers emerge from rolled and flaring 4 to 6 inch specialized leaves called spathes. Rising from the base of each spathe is a pencil-shaped spike, or spadix, bearing the plant's male flower. Their usual height is roughly 24 inches. Cala lilies, native to South Africa, are easy to grow bulb or rhizome plants. Their thick leaves, up to 8 inches long and 5 inches wide, are shaped like arrowheads. We've paired this beauty with hearty, yet delicate Alstroemeria, Australian Geraldton Pink Wax flowers and robust Lemon Leaf to create a strikingly bright and beautiful bouquet to bring in the new year! |
