Calla lilies are not actually part of the lily or calla families, but belong to a completely different genus of zantedeschia. These magnificent trumpet flowers are native to South Africa, and grow from rhizomes, or bulbs.
Planting
For calla lilies to bloom and grow, they must receive the right care. Plant callas in areas that get full sun all day, or pot them to expose them to artificial lighting. Use quick-draining soil and compost for planting, and fertilize the plants monthly during their growing season.
Blooms
Calla lilies are summer season flowers, and begin to bloom in springtime. Blooms last for many weeks, so the first spring blooms may last from April through June, either on the plant or in a vase. A single plant supports one set of blooms in its growing season.
Growing Season
Different varieties of calla lilies bloom at different times, so by planting several varieties in a yard, gardeners frequently maintain calla lily blooms and foliage from early spring into September.
