Sleek and playful. The pot calla is a surprisingly versatile spring bloomer that quickly gives your terrace or balcony a special look. There is no excuse not to have one or more of these inspiring calla lily pot plants in your outdoor spaces. Make sure to welcome spring the way it deserves after a few months of the winter blues!
Spring Pot Callas as Outdoor Eyecatchers
It is amazing how a flowery plant can grow into this simple yet luscious shape that calls the attention of many flower and plant lovers. The calla, a.k.a. zantedeschia, is a marvelous sight with its stylized flowers: modern, sleek, and playful at the same time. In short, not an everyday bulb in a pot, but a real eye-catcher on your terrace or balcony.
Powerful and Contemporary
Callas are more versatile than you might think, given their quite simple appearance. With its stylized flower shape, the calla pot plant is beautiful on a modern (roof) terrace or balcony. Choose a few varieties in one or two bold colors for a powerful, contemporary effect. Perhaps add some summerly ornamental grasses to the design, nothing else, and you'll see how stunning the result is. Let the callas do what they're good at and shine on your terrace or balcony.
A Spring Color Palette by Simply Calla
Simply Calla emphasizes that, like the cut flowers, also zantedeschia plants come in a multitude of colors. Calla lilies' spring palette ranges from pure white to deep pinks to brighten any space, given that the season is almost here. In between are the colors of a blistering spring, from bright yellow to all the colors of a dazzling sunset. Imagine orange, bright reds, and even candy cane pinks or light purples!

Container of Garden Plant
Callas are perfect outdoor plants for small and big spaces. They feel at home in small pots and containers for a cozy balcony, patio, or terrace setting. Here, opt for pots with a hole in the bottom to easily drain excess rain and irrigation water. Water your calla regularly and add some plant food every two weeks for rich flowers. What do you think of these inspirational ideas? It's time to apply them and get them on your patios and balconies yourself.
Did you know zantedeschias thrive in open garden soil as well? These plants originate from South Africa, where they grow in places that experience both wet and dry periods. That explains why the calla is such a strong plant. Treat them just like pot plants. You will get the most flowers in a spot with partial shade. If you would like to pick a flower for a vase, do not cut the stem, but carefully pull the flower stem out of the plant.
Have a simply wonderful calla nice spring!
