'Black Eyed Beauty'

Calla

Z 9–112.333 ft1–1.5 ft

Calla Lily 'Black Eyed Beauty' features buttery-yellow blooms with a deep, almost black center, creating a dramatic contrast. The elegant, funnel-shaped flowers rise above lush, arrow-shaped green foliage speckled with white, adding texture and interest to garden beds and containers. Blooming in summer, this variety thrives in full sun with well-drained, compost-rich soil and requires consistent moisture during the growing season. Hardy in USDA zones 8 and above, it can be grown as an annual in colder climates, with bulbs lifted and stored for winter. 'Black Eyed Beauty' is deer-resistant and makes an excellent choice for cut arrangements and container plantings.
