BASICS Botanical name: Zantedeschia spp. and hybrids Zones: Although Z. aethiopica can be grown in Zones 8-10; hybrids are more comfortable in Zone 9 and warmer. Or treat them as annuals in colder climates. Height/Spread: Upright habit; 12 to 36 inches tall, 9 to 24 inches wide Exposure: Full sun to partial shade; with bright, indirect light being ideal. Dense shade might put a damper on bud count, and scorching midday summer sun can prove equally challenging. Bloom time: Flower stalks begin shooting up about eight weeks after planting, and you’ll be delighted by blooms for the next couple of months. Color and characteristics: Calla lily is an herbaceous or semi-evergreen perennial grown from rhizomes. Tubular shaped flowers with pointed tips produce a long, finger-like spadix at the center. Blooms come in colors of white, yellow, orange, pink, red, purple, green, or black. Tall elegant stems rise above broad solid green or speckled leaves. How to Grow Calla Lily From Seed It can take up to three years for a calla lily planted from seed to bloom. Calla lily seeds must be pre-grown, which can be done by spreading seeds out on a damp paper towel and covering them. Place the paper towel in a cool location, such as a basement or cellar. After a few days, check for growth. Discard any that do not show any signs of life. Put the seed in a high-quality soilless medium in a well-draining pot. Plant two seeds per pot with the thinnest layer of potting medium. Keep the soil moist and watch for growth. Watch the plants for a couple of weeks and remove the weakest shoot from each pot. You only want one seedling per pot.
