Arums and calla lilies brighten shade gardens
In the Araceae family called Arums, the notable flower is a spadix wrapped in a spathe. The calla lily, a Zantedeschia arum, thrives in Aiken soil, blooming solo or with other calla lilies. Growers note plant care, propagation by tuber division, and winter protection in well draining soil. Aiken Garden Show exhibitors highlight Pinellia tripartita Dragon Tales and other shade plants from Shady Characters nursery.
