Zantedeschia Eydona 'Purple White'

Zantedeschia Eydona 'Purple White' is a compact, tender calla lily grown for its elegant summer spathes in rich purple-and-white tones, held above fresh green foliage. Suited to Irish gardens in a sunny or lightly shaded, sheltered spot, it thrives in fertile, moist but well‑drained soil and is excellent in containers or the front of warm borders. Plant or move outside only after frost has passed; water and feed regularly through the growing season, remove spent blooms, and allow the foliage to die back naturally. In autumn, lift and store the rhizomes dry and frost‑free, or overwinter containers under cover, then replant outdoors once the risk of frost has gone; also valued for long‑lasting cut flowers.

To help give a clear sense of scale, the stone wall shown in our photos measures approximately 265cm in height. We also use familiar garden tools as visual references: a digging fork (110cm tall) and a hand fork (30cm tall). These are included purely as size guides to help you better judge proportions when viewing the images.
