Description

Zantedeschia Strawberry Blush is a modern, designer style calla lily that brings a softer, more decorative colour palette to summer planting. It is particularly strong for container sales because the flowers have a clean, high end look and the plant stays neat and presentable through the season when grown with consistent moisture and feeding.

The flower shape is the main draw: sculptural, smooth and elegant, with a refined colour tone that suits contemporary patios, hotel planters and front garden displays. The foliage is glossy and lush, giving a full plant even when the flower count varies. It combines well with trailing plants in pots, or with fine grasses, heuchera and summer bedding where customers want a coordinated scheme rather than a mixed border feel.

Plant in spring once frosts are passing, in a warm, sheltered position in sun to part shade. Use fertile, free draining compost in containers, or improved soil in beds. Keep moisture steady during growth, avoiding extremes of drought or waterlogging. Feed regularly through summer to support flowering. For Ireland, advise lifting and storing tubers frost free in autumn for reliable return performance, especially in colder inland gardens or where winter wet is persistent.
