Instructions
-
Growing Instructions:
- Planting Depth: 5 cm (2")
- Plant Spacing: 15 cm (6") in the garden / 5 cm (2") in containers
- Instructions for Nutrient Care: Feed plants SUPERthrive once per week. Mix 1.2 ml (1/4 tsp) per 4L (1 gallon) of water in a watering can and apply solution to the base of the plants.
For earlier blooms, seeds can be started indoors 4-6 weeks before the last frost in your area. Follow the seed depth and spacing guidelines indicated below. Once all danger of frost has passed, seedlings should be hardened off before planting in their growing location. Seedlings should be transplanted according to the plant and row spacing directions below. Regularly monitor your plants and ensure that the soil remains moist while they establish themselves in their new environment.
Suggestions
Growing Suggestions:
To get a jump start to the flowering season, you can plant the bulbs in containers indoors about a month before transplanting into the garden or moving containers outdoors once all danger of frost has passed.
- After planting, it can take 14-21 days for the first calla shoots to appear. Once shoots appear, the plants grow quickly.
- During the growing season, Calla lilies benefit from a monthly application of liquid fertilizer such as Superthrive. This is especially important when they are grown in containers.
- Planting in soil that is too rich in nitrogen will produce lush, green plants with no flowers. To counteract this, add phosphorus-rich soil.
