Understanding Plant Options
Nature Hills offers plants in two main formats:
- Container Plants: Grown in pots with soil, sized by container volume and plant age
- Bare Root Plants: Dormant plants without soil, sized by height measurements
Container Plant Sizes
Container sizes indicate plant age and growing capacity rather than liquid volume equivalents. Our containers follow industry-standard nursery "trade gallon" specifications, which differ from standard liquid gallon measurements.

Add some ethereal beauty to your landscape with Picasso Calla Lily (Zantedeschia aethiopica 'Picasso')! After adding this magnificent plant to your garden, you'll wonder how you ever lived without it. Lovely, bi-color cream chalices with a bold purple center, rising tall above strappy, deep-green foliage making it nearly impossible to miss.
Highlighted by a bright yellow stamen - like an exclamation point in the center of each bloom! You won't be able to miss this unique, eye-catching beauty. Deep-green strappy leaves perfectly add fringe and act as a dramatic back-drop even when not in bloom. Change things up in your garden by adding this stunning plant into the mix.
The blooms keep coming all summer! A hardy perennial bulb from growing zones 8 and up, but cooler zones won't miss out on this beauty! It's a great houseplant or annual as well! Butterflies adore these blooms and you will love them for elegant cut flower bouquets!
Planting and Application:
Picasso Calla Lily is great along borders, in masses, and in container gardens too! Tall and high-impact color on compact clumps! Picasso keeps themselves neat and tidy - so no work from you! These perennial blooms prefer being planted among later emerging perennials and shrubs to shade the foliage while the bulbs take their summer dormancy in hot climates.
Picasso is a great stand-alone 'thriller' for containers and planters, however, it also plays well with others! Adding drama and lavish color in mixed plantings. Use these clusters of greenery as edging and fillers throughout the pollinator garden and cut flower beds!
- Gorgeous Bi-Color Cream and Purple
- Unique, Cup-Shaped Blooms
- Tropical Flair For Any Space
- Lavish Color Every Summer
- Eye-Catching Container Plants, Borders & Edging
#ProPlantTips for Care:
Picasso thrives in the full sun, and can tolerate a bit of shade! Preferring rich, well-drained and organic-rich soil. Deadhead the blooms as they face, and once the foliage of these perennial bulbs yellows, trim it back the foliage. Northern growers can use these rhizomes as annual accents or even bring them indoors as houseplants. Warm growing zones can use these as perennials.
- Full Sun & Partial Shade
- Well Drained Rich Soil
- Prefers Consistent Moisture
- Prune After Foliage Yellows
- Perennial in Warm Climates & Annuals in Cooler
