About this Plant

Zantedeschia aethiopica 'Marshmallow' is a stunning cultivar of the popular Calla Lily. It is known for its large, pure white flowers and distinctive green foliage. The flowers of 'Marshmallow' have a unique twist, as they feature a soft blush of pink towards the center, resembling the appearance of marshmallows. The blooms are held on strong, erect stems that rise above the attractive green leaves. The foliage is arrow-shaped and glossy, adding to the overall ornamental appeal of the plant. 'Marshmallow' typically reaches a height of 2-3 feet (60-90 cm) and blooms in late spring to early summer.

Care Guide:

Light Requirements: Zantedeschia aethiopica 'Marshmallow' thrives in full to partial sun. It prefers bright, indirect light but can tolerate some shade. Avoid exposing the plant to direct, intense sunlight for extended periods as it may scorch the leaves.

Soil Requirements: Provide 'Marshmallow' with well-draining, fertile soil. A mixture of loam, peat moss, and compost works well. The soil should retain moisture but not become waterlogged.

Watering: Calla Lilies require consistent moisture, especially during the growing season. Water the plants regularly to keep the soil evenly moist. However, avoid overwatering or allowing the plant to sit in standing water, as this can lead to root rot.

Fertilization: Apply a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer to 'Marshmallow' every 4-6 weeks during the growing season. Follow the package instructions for the appropriate dosage. Alternatively, you can use a slow-release fertilizer at the beginning of the growing season.

Mulching: Apply a layer of organic mulch around the base of the plant to help conserve soil moisture, suppress weed growth, and maintain a more consistent soil temperature. Avoid placing mulch directly against the stems to prevent rotting.

Division and Propagation: Over time, Zantedeschia aethiopica 'Marshmallow' may form clumps. Divide the plant every 2-3 years in early spring or fall to rejuvenate it and promote healthy growth. Carefully dig up the clumps, separate them into smaller sections, ensuring each division has healthy roots and shoots, and replant them at the appropriate depth.

Pest and Disease Control: Calla Lilies are generally resistant to most pests and diseases. However, they can occasionally be affected by aphids or fungal diseases like leaf spot. Regularly inspect the plants for any signs of pests or disease, and take appropriate measures such as using insecticidal soap or organic fungicides if necessary.

Winter Care: In areas with mild winters, Zantedeschia aethiopica 'Marshmallow' is usually hardy and can be left in the ground. However, in colder regions, it is best to dig up the rhizomes before the first frost and store them in a cool, dry place until spring. Alternatively, you can treat them as annuals and replant new rhizomes each year.

Zantedeschia aethiopica 'Marshmallow' adds elegance and charm to garden borders, containers, or as cut flowers in floral arrangements. By following these care guidelines, you can enjoy the beautiful and unique blooms of this Calla Lily cultivar.
