Can I put a calla lily directly into the garden, not in a pot and what do I need to know.?

I have always kept the calla lily in the pot that it was in when I purchased the plant. This year I would like to put it directly into my garden and do not know much about this plant. Any info you have to offer would be greatly appreciated. I have Lavender Gem

The bulbs should be planted in deep, rich and moist soil for the ultimate growth conditions. The key is to keep these plants hydrated!





The Calla lily will grow to about one and a half or two feet tall under ideal conditions. The plant also enjoys a lot of sunshine so it is best to plant it in an area with minimal shade. Keep in mind that the flower should have some shade from the midday sun for them to grow to their maximal potential.





The Calla lily does not do well in colder regions. So if you live in an area that will see frost during the winter, it is best to bring it indoors in the fall and replant it in the spring. If you pot it and place it on a sunny windowsill, it should remain healthy during the cold spells.
Reply:it can be planted directly in the garden, however depending on where you live it will need to be repotted before first frost in your area
Reply:It%26#039;s a bulb, it will do fine. Just water it to run-off as soon as you plant it to help get the air out of the soil around the bulbs. We have some we planted 5 years ago and they come up every year. (Atlanta)
Reply:I planted mine in the ground last summer. I planned on digging the bulbs up and storing them for winter but, oh well, it didn%26#039;t get done. I was very surprised to see the sprouting this spring. They get lots of morning and early afternoon sun but they are shaded in the late afternoon and evening.
Reply:I live in Georgia and put one calla lily plant in the ground last summer and now this spring I have 6 new ones! I left it out over the winter.
Reply:I planted mine in full sun (Oklahoma summers are very hot and dry) and they didn%26#039;t do well. I moved them into partial sun (morning sun, afternoon shade) and they did much better. Mine don%26#039;t seem to like their feet wet, so the new location drains better and they%26#039;re happier.
