Calla Lily Hack! :: How to Get Your Calla Lilies Blooming Sooner This Season!

[@tammyrice1529]

I love my callas. I never knew there was a variety that large. I am going to start looking for it. I hope you have a wonderful day.

[@linakhoury6623]

Hi Janey 🌺 I hope your weather gets warmer and I love Calla lillies they will be amazing in the place where you will plant them . Have anice day🌷🌼🌷

[@sydneykasmar]

What a great tip on growing in pots to transplant. Thanks Janey. Keep going in the direction of your dreams.

[@digsindirt4490]

I love calla lilies. I had a cluster of white for my wedding bouquet. Thank you for sharing where you sourced the bulbs. I’m going to see if I can find them for my yard. I hope everyone is staying safe with your crazy weather! Garden on Janie!

[@RussHjelm]

I live in zone 6b and I've never dug up my calla lily rhizomes and they've come back every year so far. We'll see what happens this year after the bitter cold we had.

[@RoseTorn411]

Same, although I'm in 7b even then I keep them in the ground along with cannas

[@sharongauss9298]

I’m 7a and my callas do great in the ground all year.

[@nikkichevere]

6b here as well never have dug them up at any of my residences no issues so far

[@tonyaperry4763]

I live in zone 6.(not sure a or b). I haven't been gardening but a couple years. I've only tried the Calla Lily once and killed it, lol. Question: are there different types to better withstand a zone 6? I just purchased one to see if I can actually be successful this time. The tag on the plant says the hardiness is only 30°-20°. Therefore I don't think they could survive a winter in a zone 6, even though they are mild winters compared. Rarely does the temps reach 20 and below and stay that temp for a long period of time. They are a gorgeous plant and I would love to have a huge drift of them, if I knew they could withstand a zone 6.

[@RussHjelm]

@@tonyaperry4763 I haven't done anything special for my Cannas or Callas. We did get down well below zero this winter, so we'll see what happens, although I do see my Cannas are beginning to break above ground now.

[@fredgonzalez1739]

I can't wait to see a follow up video on those Calla lillys, thank you 😊

[@josweatt898]

I am learning so much from you! I purchased some half off last fall and potted them up. They started growing so moved them out of my greenhouse where it was cooler. Then got really cold so moved back in. I better check on them to be sure they are not mush.

[@darlenerobertson2617]

Hi Janey. I am in zone 6b and just planted my Calla Lillies in pots hopefully they will grow. Love your channel.

[@judithjohnson2111]

Going to be a knockout with the bench,pots, & black fence. Happy for you girl.

[@nkosiinvestmentslimited869]

I am in Lusaka Zambia Central Africa. Zantedechia aethiopica and zantedechia Albomaculata I have grown to a height of 1m + . In Zambia we never uproot the bulbs. We grow the Lillies in ground garden beds more often than not. I'd love to share some images with you

[@ranchhomeliving]

Those calla lilies are going to look so beautiful in that corner of your garden. I can't wait to see them grow. :)

[@regeniamoorepronouncedregi9138]

Hi Janey! Thanks for the wonderful information as always. Love to hear all you dreams for your garden and the new flower field. Stay safe with all the rain in your state. We are expecting thunderstorms tomorrow with 50-60 mph winds. Stay safe everyone…

[@ciao532]

I love your watering jar. Thank you for the video, very nice and professional.

[@kangtani_indonesia]

very useful information so that lilies bloom faster

[@elizabethhunt4185]

I learn so much from you. Great blog.

[@MrRKWRIGHT]

Good morning Janey. Those Calia lillies look absolutely lovely. I'm definitely followng your recommendations for getting my flowers to bloom earlier in 2023. As always, thanks for your sharing all your excellent gardening tips - and have a great week. 🌼🌻😁

[@DigPlantWaterRepeat]

Thank you for watching my friend! 💗

[@MrRKWRIGHT]

@@DigPlantWaterRepeat As always, you're quite welcome of course, Janey. ❤🌼🌼

[@victoriaaustin2468]

Your recent weather seems to be like our normal crazy North Texas weather. So sorry you are having to deal with it and worry about that beautiful oak tree and flooding. Praying it ends soon for you. Love your plan for your shade area with that beautiful bench and the blue and white pots. I collect those and they add so much in the garden, especially with those amazing white plantings you plan on doing. Thank you for sharing so much about calla Lillies. My husband planted up our front door pots last year with calla Lillies and we had such a good, long season with them, I'm going to have him plant them again. I've never seen those huge calla lillies before. I may have to try them somewhere also. Excited to see how huge they get. Stay safe and dry!

[@juanitagibbs2100]

Good job Janie 👏👏👏👍😘

[@mardisteffenhagen]

I start mine in the house,that and my begonias. That aside,I hope you and your family are safe.Calif. Is really getting hammered!❤

[@jomassey4207]

Hi Janey, Calla lillies give the garden a lovely sculptural feel. I have many including lemon, warm orange to red, and pure white. Easy to grow and divide and keep neat and tidy. They will suit that part of your garden as a nice big clump and (accentuate your outdoor furniture). Love the giant variety.....sounds great! Enjoy, Jo.

[@sharongauss9298]

Maryland 7a-b, my callas are perennials here. They are full of blooms , morning sun, pm shade

[@itsmewende]

Love today's quote. Those are going to be gorgeous against the black fence. I had calla's yrs ago, I love tall stems, foxglove are my absolute favorites. New to me a couple yrs ago a flower named Angels fishing rod, I started seeds last yr, they hardly grew at all, fingers crossed they bloom this yr. If you haven't seen those, do a search.

[@DigPlantWaterRepeat]

I will look it up! Wende your columbine are all sprouted and growing! 🙌🏼 so excited to get them planted out!

[@itsmewende]

@@DigPlantWaterRepeat Oh wonderful, if they don't bloom this yr don't worry. To be honest I don't even remember planting it, it bloomed the second yr. Good thing it has lovely foliage, that I recognized, otherwise, I would have pulled it.

[@jasminelouisefarrall]

Morning Everyone 🥰

[@MsBettyRubble]

I live in zone 10 and my parents lived in zone 11. We always have lillies for Easter. So we see them in March through April.

[@gracieshomeandgardens5089]

My calla lily's didnt bloom last year.i think i planted them in fullshed didnt realize when its spring its fullsun nesr canopy of my eastern redbud during summer its completely fullshade so im not sure if im groing them again.but i love them.😊❤

[@FunnySurpriseToys]

Very nice Dear Friend! Have a happy day!👍9

[@TheAnmaco]

Tks very interesting. I live in the UK but where can I get the coloured small. .have had my Calla White for over 18 years❤😊.

[@LisaIgnoffo]

Hi Janey! Loved the Calla Lily video. About your Camellia, you need to make sure to pick up the dropped blooms so that they don't cause petal blight on the blooms on the plant.

[@nataliehoffman9591]

i just potted my bulbs. do you have a video on how to properly transplant? im nervous to ruin the roots and all that stuff. new to planting!

[@krystalnebel7304]

Good morning everyone. It's going to be amazing. I can't wait for updates on it. I think Canon lilies are so pretty but expensive by me. I think maybe going that route would be cheaper.

[@bethreisman8869]

I just love your music ….. ❤

[@DigPlantWaterRepeat]

Yay me too! 😘

[@tracyhobbs886]

I love the color of your terracotta pots. Where did you get them? I can’t ever find them like that where I live.

[@daygirl2659]

Hi Janey, I see beautiful Calla Lilies in the supermarket. Can you plant those in your garden and will they keep growing?

[@nanztaxi123]

I’m here in NewZealand in January which is the hottest month of summer and most of NewZealand has been hit by cyclone hale we have had flooding and high winds it’s been horrible I live in Wellington and it missed me but we have had non stop rain for two weeks and normally in a drought by now

[@bamadixiedelightlucyq777]

This is off topic but I just couldn't get out of my head who you look like and I figured it out lol. You look so much like the actress Kate Hudson. Anyhoo thanks for the education on calla lilies.

[@yesidtac7863]

Muy buen video

[@deborahlambert4601]

My fence is black with lights too!

[@juliegogola4647]

If that's a Live oak, they are used to high winds and even hurricanes. Of course, they aren't totally hurricane proof, but, they are tough. It takes alot to uproot them. I used to be in a cool climate, but, now, it's been in the 90'sF or high 80's here. And, calla Lilies overwinter in the ground in zone 6a where I am, and others here have said they don't have to dig theirs up either in zone 6b, although the labels say zone 8 hardy. I started out with 3 or 5 roots, and now I have so many I am not sure how many I have. Mine are pink and a coral color. Nice idea about trying to get early blooms. But, my last frost is in May, sometimes as late as the 3rd week of May, and my greenhouse can get too hot for some plants. I can only keep certain plants alive in it. I need to get a roof vent installed in it. Now, I wonder if maybe dahlia's can overwinter here without being dug up too?

[@RedCoin91]

Hi Janey. Callas are beautiful! That corner Will look so nice! What would you think of trying some bright yellow flowers against your black fence? They would really pop! 🙂 White, blue, black and yellow go well together.

[@DigPlantWaterRepeat]

That is a fantastic idea! Maybe a yellow climber???

[@RedCoin91]

​@@DigPlantWaterRepeat Happy you like it! I was thinking of flowers (like black eyed Susan or yellow dahlias) but I forgot about the Shade. Maybe a climbing rose? David Austin 'the pelgrim' is a yellow rose that seems to do fine in Shade. Or maybe a variegated kiwi? ( not yellow, but beautiful, does ok in zone 9, part Shade, variegated with White and pink leaves^^) but it's your garden, not mine, do as you please 😅

[@nikkichevere]

Those are some of the biggest calla lilies I've ever see

[@drright2410]

Do the rhizomes expand and grow (double in size) a lot? I grew Canna Lilies for the first time last summer, had to dig them up due to my colder zone, and wow, they tripled in size, ginormous! So had to break them in multiples for storage.

[@paulthomas963]

Welp, more to learn. Thanks for that tip. If I wait until the soil warms to 65F then 3 more months it will be September. I think I'm going to grow them in a pot. I only have 6!

[@TRANTRAN-fy1qy]

what is the color of your fence? did you paint it? thank you!

[@Nalu747]

Are the tall white Lillie’s near streams toxic like your white Lillie’s same shape flower but 3 times bigger. I read they can cause quite a strong reaction

[@dereeparker2437]

Janey will the lilies flop over? I live in 9a Texas and some of mine do flop over 😕 I have to stake them.

How do I get mine to bloom I've had the bulbs for several years and cannot get them to bloom.

I need help my callielilies are getting sun burn with the heat here in the central can. I have them in partial sun Nd shade but with 90-degree sun and up to in the 100s! Should I replant them in full shade What do I do??

[@colinmcknight9605]

is there a way to calculate the effect of growing plants in an unheated greenhouse or a glassed-in porch on their hardiness zone? for instance, I am in zone 5. if I try to grow callas or other tender bulbs in an unheated greenhouse, will the protection of the glass allow me to grow a camellia, or a calla? If so, how many zones higher will be safe? It seems to me that there must be a formula that I can use to figure out what plants would work.

[@simplybloom]

I didn’t know calla lilies could get that big! Two years ago I started mine directly in the ground and it did take a little while to get going but once it was established it thrived!! Last year I started them indoors and then transplanted them into containers and they struggled. Barely got any blooms. Do you know what may have went wrong? I’ve heard that they like to be slightly root bound so maybe when I transplanted them into a bigger container they didn’t like it as well? But that still doesn’t make sense why they did so good in the ground because they have tons of space in the ground!

[@sherryleblanc8344]

My callas come up each year but never have bloomed... I live on the gulf coast...what could be the problem?

[@777uriel.]

What are the ferns behind the Calla Lillie's in your front garden?

[@shereeralph3802]

Zantedeschia aethiopica are actually an Arum lily, I believe, which is why the growth habit is a bit different. They have a more flat and open flower, as opposed to their smaller friends, the Calla, which can also have spotted leaves.

[@josealeman332]

I have several of these white ones , but I never knew they are some bigger ones that the one I have mine are about 4 feet tall. I live in zone 8b and they live outside for about 12 years, I also have some of the purple little ones but they never flower, wander why ., already change them from, sun to partial shade, no difference . I have to ck these big ones. :) but I think they are the same, maybe they need better soil.

[@lilianaplazola2747]

Can you leave and grow them in a pot?

I’ve tried growing Callas indoors and it never bloomed.🙁 thanks for the information, might try again.
