Calla Lily 'Strawberry Blush' (Zantedeschia)
Zantedeschia 'Strawberry Blush' delivers elegant, trumpet-shaped calla blooms in soft strawberry-pink tones above glossy green foliage. Perfect for patio pots, borders and as a long-lasting cut flower... Plant the bulb-like rhizomes in pots indoors from early spring, then move outside after the last frost into moist but well-drained soil in sun or partial shade. Flowering through summer into early autumn. In colder areas, lift and store the rhizomes frost‑free once the foliage dies back, or move containers under cover for winter.
