White calla lilies (Zantedeschia aethiopica)! We all know them for their cut flowers, but did you realize they are also a perennial in most of the South? I’ll be honest, I haven’t found many of them growing in abandoned pastures; abandoned pastures seem to be the home for the daffodils and some of their other friends. No, I’ve seen calla lilies growing in the old established gardens of the south that are still taken care of. Why? Normally it is because calla lilies need more water than just the natural rainfall they might receive in a field.

How much water? A lot. Calla lilies are traditionally grown completely submerged in the water. A typical technique is to pot a very rocky soil mixture together in a pot, and sink the pot completely under the water in a fish pond or other decorative pool of water. However, they don’t have to be completely submerged. A regular irrigation system will take care of them. They like it a little more shady and damp, so just remember that when placing them in the garden.

Here at the Southern Bulb Company farm, we’re going to put them with our white rain lilies (Zephyranthes candida) and our native white spider lilies (Hymenocallis liriosme) in the thick clays at the edge of our pond. This will accomplish a couple of things. First, it will keep them in the moist soils they need to thrive. Second, the water helps keep the soil temperatures above freezing, and calla lilies can be sensitive to freezing. Our farm is located in northeast Texas, almost a Zone 7, and I would not recommend trying this bulb north of here.

What about the history of the bulb? While I would like to offer a great pass-a-long story like so many of our other bulbs have, all I can speak to is the wonderful old places I’ve seen them grow. Many of our old world bulbs like the little jonquil sweeties, old fashioned daffodils, Byzantine gladioli, and more came from Mediterranean places such as the south of Spain. Calla lilies come to us from South Africa, not a hot bed of early American immigration. From there though, they were eventually brought to Europe and the United States. Dr. Bill Welch had them in his old home near Monroe, LA for generations and now has them growing in a decorative galvanized feeding trough near Brenham, TX (the home of Blue Bell Ice Cream). I’ve also seen them all over the Island of Jersey, particularly in the fabulous garden of Mrs. Lea where her pond leads up to her famous trompe l’oeil, which I wrote about on the Bulb Hunter Blog here: http://www.bulbhunter.com/2007/07/12/the-isle-of-jersey/.

That should be enough description to get you going. We hope you enjoy and are anxious to put these bulbs into your hands! Don’t worry, they’re quick to multiply!

Best sneakers on amazon!
Size: 10.5, Color: White/Light Blue
Best sneakers on amazon ever. I bought them on sale for around $45 and do not regret it at all. They are of superior quality and fit amazing. Comfy to wear all day and seem like they are going to last quite awhile. Very easy to clean as well.

Good fit but Paper Thin Insoles
Size: 9.5, Color: White/Team Red
Seems like a good shoe so far and looks just like the product images. The sizing is 100% accurate i got a 9.5 and it fit perfectly. Taking a star off for the terribly paper thin insoles in came in as i had to immediately replace those with some third party memory foam insoles. Definitely needs more cushioning out of the box. For the money though i recommend them.

Cute great size got a lot of compliments
Color: Obsidian Black
Loved this. Got it on sale dor 34.99 and worth it it seems like a good staple for events / outtings. Even daily use probably, but I got it for a wedding event.weekend and got so many compliments! Good closure zipper had no issues. I like the material doesn’t look or feel cheap, good color. (I got black) but saw someone at event with gold one and also adorable!!! Storage is huge for me - it easily fit my phone, a couple of pads and tampons, small hand sanitizer, small aquaphor with room! I also had sunglasses in there at one point and surprisingly zipped fine with all of that. Overall convenient for storage, aesthetically pleasing, good material-quality. Cons: the chain strap bothered my neck a little bit after wearing it but that’s a me problem. Not the purse/way it was made. But something to consider.

Cute and versatile clutch purse
Color: Apricot Beige
Very nicely made, can use as a clutch, a shoulder or the chain can be doubled and makes a great little purse, roomy and closes with a zipper so you don't lose things like I do. Will probably get more in different colors, soft leathery material.
