Planting & Growing Calla Lily Bulbs
Because of their tropical flair and nature, many gardeners are under the impression that calla lilies are hard to grow. They're not. Like other flower bulbs, a calla lily requires well-drained soil and plenty of sunshine. Plant calla lily rhizomes 4 inches deep, spacing them 12-18 inches apart. During the growing season, water calla lilies liberally and feed with

Calla Lilies are tender bulbs and often treated as annuals outside of
planting zones 9-10. If growing in zones 3-8, you can dig up the bulbs in the fall, store them where they won't freeze over winter and replant the bulbs in the spring. If planted in pots, you can move the pots indoors during cooler weather and treat them like houseplants.
Where to Plant Calla Lily Bulbs
Like other flower bulbs, calla lilies perform best when planted in well-drained soil and where they receive plenty of sunshine. They can be grown in full sun or partial shade. If planting directly into the flower garden or borders, select a sunny to semi-shady area that has well-drained soil rich in organic matter. If growing calla lilies indoors, water lightly and keep it in a cool, shaded spot until growth begins. Then move the pot to a sunny window where it can get at least 4 hours of sun a day. Water regularly and fertilize biweekly. Callas thrive in cool temperatures and high humidity.
How to Plant Calla Lily Bulbs
Plant the rhizomes 4 inches deep and 12 inches apart. If planting in containers, use a pot that has a drainage hole and use a quality potting mix. Plant 2 inches deep in a 6-inch container.
When Do Calla Lilies Bloom?
Calla lilies bloom in the summer, usually in June and July, depending on your location.
