Calla lilies are some of the more interesting flowers you’ll ever encounter. It’s probably why they have about as many nicknames as a certain bat-winged superhero—the best among them being pig lily, arum lily, and perhaps most appropriate due to its shape, the trumpet lily.
These hardy, frost-resistant, and beautiful calla lilies hail from South Africa and are most commonly found hanging out with frogs on the shores of a pond. Let’s just say it’s their chill space—even though they can technically grow in water alone if they have enough sunlight beating down on them (who needs soil, anyway?)
Calla lilies are also extremely fragrant and bloom from a rhizome, also known as a creeping rootstock. The rhizome is basically a horizontal underground plant stem that can generate and sprout new Callas. They are most commonly white, but calla lily colors can also come in nearly every hue and shade under the rainbow—from vibrant oranges and yellows to bewitching dark blues and purples.
But enough mucking about in the weeds, let’s get into the fun stuff. Here are seven cool calla lily facts that might just wow or teach you a thing or two. We hope it’s both!
We know what you’re thinking: “What!? It’s right there in the name?” Well, you can thank Swedish botanist Carolus Linnaeus for that blunder. In a lapse of judgment that would go down in history, he mistakenly recorded the flower as a member of the lily family. By the time German botanist Karl Koch corrected him, the name calla lily had already stuck, and we’ve been using it ever since. But with a little reading, you can learn the difference between the Calla and the lily.
Due to the amount of awards and comments, I can't thank everyone individually, so I'm doing it here.
