Many people treat calla lilies (Zantedeschia species) in gift pots as annuals and discard them when they finish blooming or when the leaves begin to yellow. However, the bulb is perennial and can be saved to bloom again. Calla lilies are hardy perennials in zones 7 – 10 and tender perennials in zones colder than that.

These plants do not generally require too much attention. Proper planting and location are about the only important things to consider when growing calla lilies. Care of calla lilies requires that they be planted in loose, well-drained soil. They prefer to be located in full sun or partial shade in warmer climates.

Calla lilies (also known as Arum lilies) last well in a vase, sometimes up to two or three weeks under the right conditions. Callas are beautiful flowers, perfect for adding some natural brightness to a room or for adding a special touch to a wedding bouquet.

Human Poisoning. Eating any part of a raw calla lily can lead to symptoms such as diarrhea, stomach pain, intense burning sensations, and swelling of the throat, tongue and lips. North Carolina State University describes the plant as highly toxic, warning that it may be fatal if eaten.

Plant Care

Water: Keep planting mix moist.

Light: Place in bright indirect sun light indoors.

Continuing Care: Reduce the watering schedule for indoor calla lily plants in November. Repot the plant once a year.

Temperature: Performs well at an average indoor temperature.

Fertilizer: Use liquid fertilizer monthly.

In many paintings and other works of art throughout history, the calla lily has been depicted with the Virgin Mary or Angel of Annunciation. For this reason, it has been associated with holiness, faith and purity. Additionally, as the cone-line flowers blossom in spring, they have become symbols of youth and rebirth.

The canna lily plant is a rhizomatous perennial with tropical-like foliage and large flowers that resemble that of iris. Canna lilies are low maintenance and easy to grow, and both their flowers and foliage offer long-lasting color in the garden. Let’s look at how to plant canna lilies and tips for growing cannas.

Calla lilies need 1 to 1½ feet of growing space between each plant. After planting, thoroughly water the bulbs. It is important to keep the soil evenly moist but not soaked. Depending on the variety, soil temperature, and weather conditions, you can expect calla lilies to begin blooming within 60 to 90 days.

They are not particularly temperamental plants and adapt well to full sun or partial shade. Calla lily problems arise when the plant is over or under watered. This can cause the heavy calla lily flower to droop. Drooping calla lilies may also be from excess nitrogen or a fungal rot disease.

While no plant is deer proof, some are preferred over others. Calla lilies (Zantedeschia spp.) are not at the top of the menu where deer are concerned. Calla lilies grow in U.S. Department of Agriculture plant hardiness zones 8 to 10 — so well that they can become invasive in wetland areas.

Planting calla rhizomes in cold wet weather causes them to rot.

Choose a location that contains moist soil.

Loosen the soil to the depth of 12 inches with a shovel.

Dig holes with a hand trowel 3 to 4 inches deep, spaced 12 to 24 inches apart.

Spread a 1-inch layer of organic mulch over the top of the planting area.

Blooming Season. Peonies bloom starting in April and through the months of May and June. Blooms typically last for a week to 10 days. To fill a yard or garden with continuously blooming peonies throughout the season, plan to plant a variety of cultivars, from early- to late-season bloomers.

As with most bulbs, lilies only bloom once per year. They need a cool winter dormancy period of at least 8 weeks in order to reinitiate the flowering cycle. Each plant blooms 2 – 3 weeks out of the year. By selecting varieties with staggered bloom season, it is possible to cover the entire summer (June – August).

Toxicity. The ASPCA indicates that calla lilies are indeed harmful to cats as well as to dogs. The offending component of calla lilies is its insoluble calcium oxalates. These moderately poisonous chemical compounds also found in plants such as Chinese evergreen and elephant’s ear.

When it comes to the prices of peonies, they tend to fall in one of these three categories: The Peak Season, between the months of April and June where they can cost you around $7 per stem. The Off Season, between the months of March and July to September where the price per stem will cost around $10.

Some flowers are just cheaper than others. Carnations are probably the cheapest flowers that you can get. Gerber daisies are also inexpensive. If you are not a fan of either of those, use them for some things, like alter bouquets, and then get a more expensive flower for the bride’s bouquet if that is preferred.

Tulip season. Travel to Holland in mid April to see the tulips at their best. Tulip season runs from the end of March until mid May, but the flowers are usually at their best halfway through April. More than 7 million flower bulbs bloom in spring at the Keukenhof in Lisse.
