About Calla lilies. Calla lilies (Zantedeschia aethiopica) are bulbous perennials with large, arrow-shaped leaves growing on stalks. Most portion of a calla lily “flower” is trumpet-shaped bracts called spathes. Their flowers are very small on a yellow, 3-inch spadix, which is protected by spathes. Calla lilies can grow in ground, potting mix or in standing water, indoors or outdoors. During the growing season, calla lilies store energy in their rhizomes which can be stored for next year’s growth.
Why grow calla lilies. Calla lilies are grown for their beautiful flowers that come in different colors and can be grown as container plants, in perennial gardens, borders and for producing cut flowers that can be used for many occasions. Calla lilies attract butterflies and hummingbirds. The plants are low care and bloom just eight weeks after planting. Calla lilies add a unique look to a garden bed. Once started, calla lilies can bloom year after year.
Care tips. Calla lilies like well-drained soil rich in organic matter. The plants thrive under the full sun and should be given as much direct sunlight as possible when grown indoors. Water the plants thoroughly when the soil surface becomes dry. Avoid over watering. Feed the plants monthly during the growing season with an all-purpose fertilizer. In Zone 7 and higher, calla lilies can be left outside but need to be dug up and stored indoors during the winter in the colder areas.
