Planting Calla Lily Divisions on the East Side: Fall Care

Your friend's "cuttings" are actually corm divisions with soil balls. Plant them on the east side (morning sun, afternoon shade)—ideal for callas in Chico, CA (Zone 9).

Fall Planting (Zone 9)

• Plant now through November.
• Space 12″ apart, 3″ deep.
• Water in well; keep moist until rains come.

Winter Care (Zone 9)

No digging needed—callas are hardy to Zone 8. Mulch 2″ with straw if a rare freeze threatens.

Spring

Fertilize with balanced formula when shoots emerge. Enjoy blooms by early summer.

East exposure is perfect—your callas will thrive.
