CALLA LILY

Beautiful cornucopia-shaped flowers in red, orange, yellow, white, purple, pink, and black.  Callas do well in containers can be started as dormant rhizomes when available. Start rhizomes in late March-early April for earliest flowering in the spring. 

TEMPERATURE:  If  leaves are showing, above 50 degrees. 

LIGHT:  Indoors: bright light. Outdoors: Full shade to morning sun.

WATER:  Soil should not stay waterlogged- if too wet, leaves will turn yellow and both leaves and flowers will wilt.  If too dry, wilt will be obvious and the plant will perk up nicely after a good soak. Expect a few yellow leaves after a wilt and clip them off.   

FERTILIZER:   Jack’s Classic Blossom Booster

KEEPING RHIZOMES OVER THE WINTER:   If dormant (as a rhizome), pack in a paper bag filled with vermiculite. Place in a dry spot that stays 40-50 degrees.
