Arum lilies, Zantedeschia, have large, glossy foliage which, in late spring and early summer, is complemented by large, white, hood-shaped blooms. They make excellent cut flowers. They're perfect for growing beside water, in shallow pond margins or a bog garden, where they associate well with other water plants. They can also be grown in damp borders with other moisture-loving plants.

Zantedeschia 'Black Magic' bears yellow flowers with a black centre, and contrasting yellow spathe. Grow in moist soil in full sun. In cooler regions offer protection in autumn and winter or in grow in containers which can be moved indoors.
