Hercules — Zantedeschia aethiopica ‘Hercules’

Family: Araceae

Hercules is one of the boldest white arum lilies, known for its huge foliage and massive white blooms. The leaves are thick, architectural, and naturally speckled with white spotting — a key identifying feature. Mature plants produce tall stems topped with broad, pure-white spathes that stand out in any landscape.

Hercules thrives in rich, moist, well-drained soil and prefers full sun to part shade. It establishes quickly and gains exceptional strength after its first season. The plant performs best when protected from cold waterlogging during early establishment. Once settled, it delivers outstanding height, structure, and premium cut-flower stems.
