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.
In zones colder than 8, these callas should be treated as annuals or lifted and stored indoors. Before the first frost, dig up the rhizomes, let them dry, and store them in a cool, dark, and dry location until the following spring.
These lilies thrive in full sun to partial shade. In hotter climates, providing some afternoon shade will help protect the foliage and prolong the life of the blooms.
Absolutely. The Regal Calla features strong, sturdy stems that hold up well in vases, making them an ideal choice for fresh-cut flower arrangements.
For best results, plant the rhizomes 4 inches deep. Space them 8 to 12 inches apart to allow for proper airflow and growth as they mature.
