Zantedeschia hardiness - the pink form + green goddess

My opinion is that Green goddes is not
as floriferous as Z. aethiopica. But I
would be interested in your opinion too!
For me this is true. However, I think the green goddess can do
very well if treated better. I'm not sure what better is though. It
may need more moisture, shade and fertility, maybe better
drainage, maybe regular division every few years, maybe less
weed competition,... I have seen it flower much better at times
and it has not been doing so in recent years when given less
careful culture. Farmer's market customers and people who
see it, love it (U-Pickers rarely see it as it is easily overlooked).
So, I do need to try to spread it around more until I find what it
likes. Maybe just some fertilizer?
