ABSTRACT:

Botanical classification:
Zantedeschia sprengeri.
Varietal denomination: ‘Red Sox’.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention comprises a new and distinct cultivar of calla lily, botanically known as
Zantedeschia sprengeri
and hereinafter referred to by the cultivar name ‘Red Sox’.
‘Red Sox’ was discovered in 1992 in a selection of seedling tubers of unknown parentage in Maungaturoto, New Zealand. The new cultivar has a larger and more scarlet red colored spathe than other red colored calla lilies and is taller than other red colored calla lilies known to the inventor.
The first act of asexual reproduction of the new cultivar was performed by tissue culture in 1994 in Albany, Auckland, New Zealand. The new cultivar retained its characteristics through successive propagations.
