Calla lilies, also known as Arum lilies, are beautiful flowers that can last up to two or three weeks in a vase under the right conditions. They are perfect for adding natural brightness to a room or adding a special touch to a wedding bouquet. To cut calla lily flowers for use in floral arrangements, it is best to cut them at an angle and keep the stem as short as possible. Use a sharp knife or pruning shears to cut the stem at an angle.
Calla lilies grow in USDA hardiness zones 8 through 10, and they usually bloom between midsummer and early fall. When cutting calla lilies from your garden, ensure that the plant is given water the night before to ensure that it is well-watered. Prepare the vase or container before cutting the stems and take it with you to the garden.
Calla lilies make gorgeous cut flowers and are in high demand for weddings and other bouquets. They have trumpet-shaped blooms in shades of white, cream, soft pink, pale yellow, orange, lavender, and mauve. They thrive when they get enough light, which they need to produce flowers. Cut flower callas can be succession planted every 4 weeks, with first plants starting to produce flowers 8 weeks after planting.
With the right maintenance, you can keep your cut calla lilies fresh for longer. Place your lilies into a vase filled 2/3 of the way with water as they bloom. Calla lilies are easy to arrange and can last for up to two weeks in a vase.
