growing calla lilies

11 years ago

I planted some calla lily bulbs and they won't grow.. what conditions do they need? they've been in the ground since December 12. I'm in zone 7b/8a, will they even grow here? will they be perennials or annuals? I've never had callas before, I planted them as a surprise for my grandma, yellow pink and red. but there's no movement out of them..

You might want to try posting this in the Arum forum as in spite of the name, these are not true lilies.
