Plant Care & Growing Tips

To ensure your 2 Millennium Gold Calla Lily bulbs flourish and produce an abundance of their spectacular golden blooms, proper care is essential. Calla Lilies prefer a location with at least 6 hours of sunlight per day. In hotter climates, some afternoon shade can protect the delicate flowers and foliage from scorching. They thrive in rich, well-draining soil that remains consistently moist but not waterlogged. A good quality potting mix with added compost or organic matter is ideal for container planting. Plant the bulbs (rhizomes) about 3-4 inches deep and 12-18 inches apart, with the eyes or growing points facing upwards.

Water regularly, especially during dry spells and when the plant is actively growing and flowering. Reduce watering as the foliage begins to yellow in late summer or fall, signaling the plant’s dormancy period. Fertilize every 2-4 weeks during the growing season with a balanced liquid fertilizer to encourage robust growth and prolific blooming. In USDA zones 8-10, Calla Lilies are typically hardy and can remain in the ground year-round. In colder zones (7 and below), the bulbs should be dug up before the first frost, allowed to dry, and stored in a cool, dark, dry place over winter, then replanted in spring. This practice ensures your Millennium Gold Calla Lily returns vibrant each season.
