White and Purple Calla Lily Varieties
1. Picasso Calla Lily
Botanical Name: Zantedeschia ‘Picasso’
Originating in South Africa, the Picasso Calla Lily is a standout with its two-toned petals that combine a deep purple base and creamy white brushstroke-like edges. The arrow-shaped, deep green foliage provides the perfect backdrop for these spring-summer blooms.
Growing Tip: Plant in well-drained soil and provide partial sunlight for best results. Fertilize monthly with a balanced formula to encourage vibrant blooms.
2. Night Cap Calla Lily
Botanical Name: Zantedeschia ‘Night Cap’
The Night Cap Calla Lily stands out with its velvety dark purple, almost black petals highlighted with white edges. Moreover, the green foliage, spotted with white marks, adds an extra layer of interest even when the plant is not in bloom.
Growing Tip: Opt for moist, organic soil and position in a location with full sun or partial shade. Mulching helps to retain moisture and suppress weeds.
3. Regal Calla Lily
Botanical Name: Zantedeschia aethiopica ‘Regal’
True to its name, this Calla lily boasts trumpet-shaped blooms in a regal shade of purple. A subtle white blush runs through the center, offering these early fall blooms a touch of sophistication.
Growing Tip: Plant in well-drained soil and ensure at least six hours of daily sunlight exposure. Regular watering is crucial, but avoid waterlogging the soil.
4. Calla Lily Amethyst
Botanical Name: Zantedeschia ‘Amethyst’
Another South African native, the Calla Lily Amethyst produces rich lavender-purple petals that fade to a subtle white shade around the center. Its leaves are elongated and dark green, complementing the vibrant petals.
Growing Tip: This variety thrives in acidic soil and requires moderate watering. Ensure good drainage to prevent root rot.
5. Purple Prince Calla Lily
Botanical Name: Zantedeschia ‘Purple Prince’
The Purple Prince Calla Lily is admired for its deep violet petals that seem to have a white blush from a distance. This South African native is perfect for those looking to add a pop of color to their outdoor spaces or cut flower arrangements.
Growing Tip: Ideal growing conditions include full sun to partial shade. For best results, fertilize with a balanced, slow-release formula during the growing season.
