    I can grow them here in Ecuador, so you should have no problem at all. I assume you're talking about Zantedeschia spp, and not Calla spp or Arum spp, but they will all grow for you - they're tropical plants.

    Actually as it says at your links Calla is a temperate genus and the greatest number of Arum species are from the Mediterranean. But as you said we're probably talking about Zantedeschia anyway.

    I sit corrected. However I have not yet found an Aroid I can't grow here in the Tropics.

    Just a note. The plant being discussed is an aroid. This thread should be moved to the forum on Araceae (aroids)
