plant palette COOL CALLAS Jewel-colored calla lilies are hot additions to vases, pots and gardens 24 GARDEN DESIGN APRIL 09 STORY BY TOVAH MARTIN ■ PHOTOGRAPHY BY ROB CARDILLO THE SEDUCTION OF CALLA LILIES IS inescapable, and the list of calla conquests includes everyone from Georgia O'Keeffe to Diego Rivera. Coquettish and cloaked in sensuality, these South African bewitchers are graceful, suggestive and delectably obtainable — but they're not really lilies. Like Jack-in-the-pulpit, Zantedeschia is in the Araceae with an inflorescence of many flowers sharing a long, slender spadix caped discretely by a wraparound spathe. And callas are as easy to cultivate as their kindred philodendrons, with a lot more reward — there's nothing unrequited about callas. Formerly, their domain was domestic, holding the florist trade captive. And once upon a time, that symbol of pearly white purity, Z. aethiopica, was the only game in town. With the spate of new spathe colors on the horizon — think mango, cinnamon, ember, molten, vermilion, sunset, flaxen, canary, fire engine or smeared lipstick — callas show no sign of slowing tempo as cut flowers. But now, you can also ignite your garden with their sensuous color range. Since 1985, the new siren call is that callas are slipping into garden beds and containers. The new generation of tuberous callas can be coaxed to blossom eight weeks after planting, according to Paul van Leeuwen of Wageningen UR/Applied Plant Research in the Netherlands. But flower thrills are not a calla's only gig. To keep you baited while flowers unfurl (and after they've faded), there's a crop of arrow-shaped foliage to speed your heart further. These callas were photographed at worldclass breeder Kapiteyn (Captain) in Callas and at Keukenhof in Lisse, both in the Netherlands. SEE SOURCEBOOK FOR MORE INFORMATION. PAGE 88 < 'TREASURE' When callas were first gaining their vibrancy 25 years ago, Treasure' was one of the groundbreakers going for the gold. Achieving headline status for its fiery moltenlava shades bleeding into saffron in a graceful sheath, it began the trend for color-soaked callas, with morerecent newsworthy cultivars drawing out the drum roll with lingering blossoms and increased bud count.
