Product description
Zantedeschia Odessa, commonly known as the Calla Lily Odessa, is a dramatic addition to any garden with its rich, velvety black blooms tinged with a hint of purple. These stunning flowers are beautifully offset by glossy green foliage, creating an eye-catching display.

This exotic beauty thrives in full sun or partial shade and prefers moderately fertile, well-drained soil. With a flowering period from June to September, Zantedeschia Odessa reaches an impressive height of 50-70 cm.
