I think I've read that they can be used as houseplants, so you can leave them outside during the nice months, and overwinter it inside. I also think they may wear out easily if used as a houseplant, I'd check out propagation methods....I got some books on houseplants, they really helped.

No, the flowers will last quite a while, and the foliage all summer, but then it will turn yellow and die back in fall. Pull up the bulbs and store them until the next spring. The white species, Zantedeschia aethiopica is evergreen and can be grown as a houseplant (although they aren't very happy inside) but the colored hybrids are only summer growers.
