Tips for Success
We Help You Grow! : For a quick video demonstrating how to properly plant
and care for your new Calla Lilies, simply search “How to Grow Calla Lily from
Bulbs Plant Vibrations” to find his informative video online. Further
information and growing tips can be found at
RobertasUniqueGardens.com & QVC.com
Cut Flowers: Many of us know Calla Lilies as a feature in some of the
most exquisite cut flower arrangements. When cutting flowers for your vases,
cut stems as low as possible and place in a vase with about 3” of water.
Change water every few days. Alternatively, if you are hosting a gathering and
have grown your Calla Lilies in pots, just bring the entire pot indoors for a
beautiful look.
Calla Lilies: These plants are some of the best bulbs to grow in
containers. They are exceptionally fast growing, often reaching full size
within 60 days. Their thick, glossy foliage looks stunning when planted in
glazed containers or classic terra cotta. These love to be grown in the
partial sunny locations, such as eastern or south eastern exposure. They can
also be grown indoors! When grown indoors they prefer to have the sunniest
location possible. Note that they will not grow as quickly when grown inside.
Winterizing Your Callas: These plants are tender perennials, meaning they
cannot handle a freeze, but will come year after year with appropriate care.
If you live where the winters regularly dip below freezing, after the first
frost cut foliage back all the way, For bulbs grown in the ground, dig them up
and store them in wood shavings over the winter and replant in the spring.
For plants in containers, you may also dig them up and store them that way, or
simply bring the entire container indoors and allow it to stay indoors until
the night temperatures stay above 40F. A video tutorial can be found by
searching “Overwinter Calla Lily Bulbs with Devin Wallen”

Annual and Trial Plant
Planting Steps
Step 1 Plant one to two bulbs together rounded side down into 6 inch pots
or combine more into larger pots. Pots must have drainage holes. If planting
bulbs into the garden itself, wait until the ground is permanently thawed.
Partial sun is best.
Step 2 Cover the top of bulbs with only 3 to 4 inches of soil. Water the
plants thoroughly. Step 3 In pots, you may place plants outside in partial sun
as long as evening temperatures stay above 50 degrees Fahrenheit. In the
garden, the bulbs will sprout when the soil temperature rises sufficiently
usually around early June.
Step 4 Planted now each bulb will produce luxurious, trumpet shaped flowers
about 15 inches tall with glossy green or silver speckled foliage.
Plant Caretaking
Upon Arrival: Please take bulbs out of the box immediately and remove any
shipping materials from around the plants. If unable to plant right away, you
may store them in a cool location for up to 3 weeks.
Planting Depth & Spacing: In the garden dig a hole that is about 4 inches
deep. Place the bulb in the hole with the rounded side down. Cover the bulb
with soil and water in well. Space bulbs about 4 to 6 inches apart.
Potted Plants: Make sure your container has holes to allow excess water
to drain. You may plant one bulb in a 6” container or place multiple together
in a larger container.
Soil Preparation : If your soil is clayish, amend it with standard
potting mix to improve drainage. For container plants, any standard bagged
potting mix is fine.
Watering: To determine if your plant needs water, put your finger in the
top of the soil and if the top inch is dry, it is time to water. It is
important to make sure young plants do not experience long periods of
dryness. However, they also do not like soggy conditions. They need regular
watering throughout the growing season.
Fertilizer: Use Roberta’s Bounty a couple weeks after planting and then
once or twice a month all summer long.
Pet Considerations: Ensure your pets do not consume plants.
Grooming: Remove spent flowers when they begin to get floppy. Cut their
stems as close to the soil line as possible. Remove any yellowed foliage
during the course of the growing season.
Winter Dormancy: In late autumn, cut plants back to the ground. In pots
or in the garden, they can handle temperatures down to about 30 degrees. If
you live where it gets colder, place in the garage or elsewhere to maintain
minimum temperature. Water lightly once a month in the winter. Bulbs that were
grown in the ground can be dug up and stored with wood shavings in a cool
dark location during the winter. Re-plant the following spring.
