Growing Tequila Sunrise Blend Calla Lily Bulbs
Plant calla lily bulbs outdoors after the last frost date when soil temperatures are consistently above 60 F. Set rhizomes 3-4 inches deep with growing points upward. Space 12 inches apart in beds or large containers with well-drained, fertile soil. Keep soil evenly moist but not soggy.
Calla lilies perform well in containers or borders and bloom best with consistent watering and a balanced fertilizer every 3-4 weeks. In hot climates, provide afternoon shade. Remove spent blooms to direct energy into new flowers and foliage.
Tequila Sunrise Blend in the Garden
This blend creates a bold display of warm sunset colors. Ideal for patio pots, mixed borders, or as a mass planting in flowerbeds. Their elegant trumpet blooms and lush foliage also make excellent cut flowers with long vase life.
Lifting Tequila Sunrise Blend Calla Lilies
In zones colder than 8, lift bulbs after the first frost. Cut back the foliage, gently dig up the bulbs, and allow them to dry. Store in a cool, dry, frost-free place until replanting in spring. In warmer climates, bulbs may be left in the ground year-round.
About Tequila Sunrise Blend Calla Lilies
Calla lilies (Zantedeschia) are native to Southern Africa and prized worldwide for their sculptural, trumpet-shaped flowers. The Tequila Sunrise Blend offers a lively mix of warm tones from yellow to coral and rose, bringing a tropical, festive look to the summer garden.
