DON'T NEGLECT CALLAS! Even in the upper Midwest, these fascinating and beautiful plants, botanically known as Zantedeschia, make fine additions to the sunny or partially shaded border.
NOTE: Callas occasionally survive northern winters even with non-optimal care. It's early June and some Callas are emerging in my garden after a test winter of -18 F (at O'Hare, likely a few degrees colder here in Villa Park) in areas where I left them unprotected intentionally. I have observed Callas emerging after other severe winters and in 2008 planted several cultivars with the intention of leaving them in the ground. Though this new emergence does not imply definite winter hardiness of all species and varieties in our area, it does confirm that Callas are hardier than most gardeners and authorities once believed. Click the Pacific Callas logo to visit their site and choose from an impressive selection of colors and types to suit every taste and budget, including my personal favorite, Flame! Pacific Callas ships healthy, pretreated 2 year old tubers only, for your best assurance of success!
