Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions
Things You'll Need:
- Wood chips or bark
-
Step 1
Plant your calla lily in late spring, or early summer. Choose a location with about 25-percent shading. Calla lilies can tolerate full sunlight with sufficient watering.
-
Step 2
Add organic material like wood chips or bark to the soil to keep it cool, moist and discourage weeds. Calla lilies prefer humus-rich soil. Add a 2-inch layer of mulch made from wood chips, ground bark or other organic material to the top of the soil.
-
Step 3
Plant the calla lily rhizome about 2 inches deep, and space the plants about 18 inches apart.
-
Step 4
Keep the soil moist. Calla lilies can tolerate wet ground, which makes them ideal for planting along the edge of ponds.
