1 Comment To "drooping calla lilies"
#1 Comment By AnnsGreeneHaus On 07/29/2013 @ 2:38 pm
My experience has been that when calla blooms droop, it is usually 1. age and/or 2. not enough sun. As long as the drooping doesn’t bother you too much, it won’t hurt the plant. If you haven’t divided the tubers in the past 4-5 years, it might be a good idea to do so after frost nips the foliage. Plant some in full sun and see what happens. The article at this link explains dividing and storing callas: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/bulbs/calla-lily/calla-lily-winter-care.htm [1]
This article states that callas are not hardy north of zone 7. We are in zone 6, and have never had a problem overwintering callas with nothing extra to protect them.
