Callas

Calla bulbs have arrived and we have 8 exciting  colors. Callas lilies are from the marshy areas of South Africa. They need full sun and rich moist soil in the garden. Plant the bulbs so the top of the bulb is about one inch below ground with added compost.  Feed them every 2 weeks with Jacks's 20-20-20 with liquid fertilizer. Stop feeding the first of  August. The White Callas are the most fragrant, pink and purple callas do better in part shade.#callas #gardens #bulbs


Callas make good potted plants too.   Use Pro-Mix Potting Soil for Containers and add some Osmocote. Set the pot in a deep saucer and never let it dry out.
