When you think of Easter Plants your mind goes straight to the Easter Lily with it’s large trumpet shaped blossoms atop a sturdy stem. But another great choice is a Calla Lily Plant. This bulbus plant has many stems and blossoms coming from it’s pot. The leaves are very similar to the Peace Lily Plant and sometime they are spotted. They come in a wide variety of colors such as yellow, lavender, white, pink, purple, red, and the below is orange. The florets are the most interesting shape, similar to a fluted challis. To enjoy this plant you either leave the blossoms on the plant or cut them and put them into a cut bouquet. Cut Callas will last a good amount of time before fading when properly cared for. When purchasing individual Callas cut, they can be quite pricey. An alternative would be to purchase a plant that has many blossoms on it and then you can plant it outdoors during the warm season and watch it rebloom. Making it multi-purpose. This is a great spring blooming plant as a gift especially at Easter or even Mother’s Day. We dressed this plant up with some spring foil and topped it with with a mix bow for Easter. So next time you are looking for a unique gift for a unique person at Easter, consider the Calla.
