Description
Calla Lily ‘Akela’ (Zantedeschia ‘Akela’) is a mesmerizing perennial that brings an air of mystery to any garden or floral arrangement. This stunning variety is celebrated for its deep burgundy blooms that verge on near-black, offering a luxurious and dramatic colour palette. The elegant, funnel-shaped flowers stand tall on sturdy, slender stems, rising above a bed of lush green foliage. The leaves are beautifully adorned with delicate white speckles, adding texture and contrast to this striking display.
With its rich, moody tones and graceful form, Calla Lily ‘Akela’ is perfect for creating a bold focal point in garden beds, borders, or patio containers. These dark-hued blooms also make a stunning addition to cut flower arrangements.
