How to care for Zantedeschia aethiopica Snow White (PBR):
Plant in humus-rich, moist to poorly drained soil, basking in full sun for optimal growth. In regions that experience severe or prolonged cold, it's essential to protect the crown of plants above the waterline with a deep winter mulch to safeguard against frost damage.
While this cultivar is typically hardy in areas with mild winters and can remain in the ground year-round, in colder regions, it's advisable to dig up rhizomes before the first frost and store store them in a cool, dry place until spring.
Alternatively, for those in colder spots, treating them as annuals by replanting new rhizomes each year is a viable option to ensure continuous blooms and healthy growth.
