    Pp calla aethiopica is an outdoor hardy one. Usually find supermarkets don’t let you know the species ,if it’s in flower now I would suspect it’s indoor, but worth a shot when the weather warms up maybe.
    That's what I have, but it's only hardy in the sense that it's perennial, it's still frost susceptible.
    edited bit - realised I should have added more info
    The bulbs underground are hardy, mine [ and my mothers] were in the corner of a garden,mine in the front, hers in the back[ in South Wales] The bulbs themselves I mulch occasionally when I remember and they have slowly bulked up. If the leaves start growing but then suffer a hard frost, they will rot and die back but they will grow again. If you protect the leaves a bit, they probably won't rot. Mine are in a half barrel [no bottom] so they tend to think it's warmer than it actually is, so pop up, get frosted, die and repeat. Because I forget to cover them completely usually. Doesn't seem to affect them much, they still grow again, there may be slightly less flowers but hey ho.
