Mini Calla Lilies

18 years ago

Hi,

My friend gave me a pot of mini calla lilies. Do they need to be dug up in the fall like the large ones? And do they like full sun, shades, etc.?

Thanks.

Full sun and yes it is generally best to dig them up in the fall. I have had the large callas overwinter in the ground just fine for well over 5 yrs, but I do know I lost one of those this past winter. Course if ya have lots,, you could always experiment and leave a few in the ground perhaps trying different locations to see if you'll find a survivable area.
