I've found that the distinctive white mottled leaves need sun to be showy. I planted my corms in various degrees of eastern shade, and only the southern, most exposed has taken on the foliage markings.

A strong medium-large plant. Will not bloom when small. Full sun is best, but extreme summer heat will fade the flower to a nasty pink-on-cream. It's "bulbs" are almost more rhizomatous than cormorous. Very showy leaves.

Can be overwintered in-ground in well-drained sites in zones 6b and warmer

I am guessing that this calla lily needs a warmer zone than in Western Washington. I could only get this plant to bloom when planted directly against the south side of the house. This is the warmest place in our yard. Several Calla Lily's were planted a few feet away from the house and did not bloom. Plants against the house bloomed July through early September.
