Planting Tips & Instructions

• Planting:
• Plant in spring after the last frost.
• If you can not plant your bulbs right away store them in a cool, dry, dark location, like a basement.
• Fill the planter with soil (use ½ of soil bag)
• Plant them with the pointy end up about 2 inches apart.
• Cover the bulbs with the remaining soil and water thoroughly.
• If early blooms are desired, pot up and start indoors up to six weeks ahead of last frost date.


• Growing:
• Calla lilies are bulbs that thrive best in full sun to partial shade.
• Start to fertilize with an all-purpose fertilizer when the sprouts (green tips) come up.
• Calla lilies prefer heavy feedings every 3 weeks until they come to bloom. Stop fertilizing when the plants have bloomed.
• Calla lilies generally take from 8 to 10 weeks to bloom.


• Taking Care:
• Water regularly throughout the growing and flowering period, but allow the soil to become dry between watering.
• Calla lilies are great as cut flowers and will remain beautiful for more than a week in a vase with water.


• Winterizing:
• Calla lilies are not winter hardy and need to be dug up after the first frost.
• Do not wash but dry the bulbs for a day.
• Store away from drafts at approximately 40 °F to 50 °F (5 °C to 10 °C) in a paper bag or box filled with dry peat moss.
