This white lily with large spathes is widely used as a cut flower. However, the plants of the Arum Lily will engulf gutters, streams, waterways and wetland bogs. It is now a widespread environmental weed. The green form called 'Green Goddess' is also invasive and can be found clogging up natural waterways.

This South African native is a member of the banana family. An evergreen perennial that will reach 1.5 to 2 m in most situations. It is grown for its spectacular flowers and used all over the world for cut flower arrangements. It requires full-sun to partshade, warm temperatures and is extremely drought tolerant. Keep them crowded in pots for maximum number of blooms.

Though closely related to the Arum Lily, they are not regarded as invasive. Calla Lilies are available in a wonderful range of colours of pink, cream and burgundy to purple-black. With care in the selection of growing position and cultivation, they will provide a wonderful show of flowers in the garden or in containers. When picked as cut flowers for a vase or bouquet Calla's make a wonderful and artistic statement.
