Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers about growing calla lilies from seed, flowering time, and suitable garden conditions.
How do you grow Zantedeschia aethiopica from seeds?
Sow viable Zantedeschia aethiopica seeds in a suitable seed-starting mix and cover them lightly. Keep the medium consistently moist in a warm location. Germination can take several weeks, and seedlings may need more than one growing season to reach flowering size. Follow the seed supplier's instructions for the specific seed lot.
How long does it take for calla lilies grown from seeds to flower?
Calla lilies grown from seed may take two or three years to reach flowering size, although the timing varies with growing conditions and plant development. Provide adequate light, moisture, and nutrients to support healthy growth. Plants grown from established rhizomes may flower sooner than seed-grown plants.
Can Zantedeschia aethiopica grow in pots or wet soil?
Yes. Zantedeschia aethiopica can grow in containers and naturally suits moisture-rich locations, including suitable pond margins. Use a pot with appropriate drainage for ordinary container growing, or an aquatic planting setup for pond margins. Keep the soil consistently moist, provide full sun to partial shade, and protect the plant from unsuitable temperature extremes.
