Know before you buy
Yes, these callas are excellent for container gardening. Ensure your pot has adequate drainage holes and use a high-quality, well-draining potting mix to keep the rhizomes healthy.
Plant the rhizomes approximately 4 inches deep. Position them with the 'eyes' or growing points facing upward to ensure proper sprout development.
They thrive in full sun to partial shade. In hotter climates, providing some afternoon shade will help protect the blooms and keep the foliage looking fresh throughout the summer.
Absolutely. 'Pillow Talk' is highly prized as a cut flower due to its sturdy stems and long-lasting, elegant blooms. Simply cut the stems at an angle and place them in fresh water to enjoy their beauty indoors.
These calla lilies are hardy in USDA zones 8-10. If you live in a colder climate, you can treat them as annuals or dig up the rhizomes in the fall to store them indoors over the winter.
For the best display and airflow, space the rhizomes 8 to 12 inches apart. This allows the plants enough room to reach their full spread of 26-34 inches without overcrowding.
