Calla lilies are summer-blooming bulbs that bloom every year, provided they are grown in the right conditions. They require sunshine and are best planted in the spring after frost has passed. Soil temperature should be 65 degrees or warmer, as cool temperatures can cause them to bloom for approximately 3 to 8 weeks. The actual duration depends on various factors like water and the type of calla lily.
Calla lilies come in white, pink, yellow, orange, rose, and maroon, with some having pretty white speckles on their leaves. They bloom from 6 to 12 weeks in late spring and throughout the summer, depending on geographic location and variety. They do not all bloom at the same time, and there are early-season, mid-season, and late-season calla lily varieties.
Most calla lilies begin to bloom in early summer, with flowers well-held on sturdy stems. When planted in the spring, flowering is usually delayed until late summer. During the growing season, calla lilies appreciate a monthly dose of sunlight. When grown as perennials, calla lilies start flowering in late spring or early summer. There are many different varieties of calla lilies, and using these calla lily care tips can help keep your plants blooming all summer long.
Calla lilies typically bloom about two months after planting and can be combined with Dahlias, Gladiolus, and other plants for fresh-cut flowers all summer. They are classified as summer bulbs, and their flowering time is another classification based on the type of calla lily.

Have you gotten any surprises from seed propagated specimens due to either natural variation or hybridization? I’ve always found it extremely interesting how new varietals are created from seed grown specimens…. My grandmother when I was growing up was real into gardening and she used to always say “you never know what you’re going to get from seeds”, and I’ve been fascinated with propagating things from seed ever since (looking for that one of a kind “Novelty” that also might have the potential to make me Rich).
Now I’m confused as to what a deadhead is vs. wilted petals. Also how do you know if the plane won’t produce seeds? I have a number of plants that have those big green seed pods. I was just waiting for them to turn brown and wilt so I can get the seeds out. Do you mean they will never turn brown because there are no.seeds in them?
