Supporting Drooping Calla Lilies After Wind and Rain

Two potted calla lilies (yellow and pink) were knocked over by wind and heavy rain. Stems are hanging; owner asks if they should be cut.

Do Not Cut the Stems

Calla lilies will not rebloom for a year if cut. The flowers are heavy and naturally droop, especially in wind. Most are kept in pots because they prefer constant moisture.

Staking Solution

Insert a stake beside each plant and tie individual blooms to it. Provide partial shade and protect from wind. They will not survive winter in the ground unless in a freeze-free zone.
