Mozart

The ideal time to plant Calla Lily Mozart bulbs is in the spring when soil temperatures rise above 60°F (15°C) and the risk of frost has subsided. Planting in spring allows the bulbs to establish a robust root system and grow healthily before they bloom in the summer months.

The ideal planting time can depend on the climate of your living area. Calla lilies are hardy in USDA hardiness zones 8-10, so within these zones it is safe to plant them early in the season. In these milder climates it is also possible to plant them in the fall, providing the rhizomes with a cool, dormant period before they begin to grow in spring.

If you live in an area with a colder climate, it is important to wait until the last frost has passed. For indoor planting, you can start the bulbs 6-8 weeks before the last expected frost and transplant them outdoors once the weather conditions are favorable.

Calla Lily Mozart can be grown indoors as long as they receive sufficient light and proper care. Place the plant near a south-facing or west-facing window that receives at least six hours of sunlight per day.

Maintain consistent moisture levels in the soil and provide adequate drainage to prevent root rot. Keep the indoor temperature between 65-75°F (18-24°C) for optimal growth. Fertilize with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer every four to six weeks during the growing season. Rotate the plant periodically to ensure even growth, and regularly remove spent blooms and yellowing leaves.

Mozart Calla Lilies can grow well both in pots and in the ground. The choice depends on individual preference and available space. Potted plants offer flexibility, as they can be moved to optimal sunlight exposure and brought indoors during harsh weather conditions.

When planting in pots, use a well-draining potting mix and ensure the container has drainage holes. When planting in the ground, choose a location with well-draining soil and appropriate sunlight exposure. Regardless of the planting method, proper care is essential for healthy growth and abundant blooms.

Mozart Calla Lilies are perennial plants, which means they have the potential to come back every year. However, their ability to return depends on the climate and growing conditions. In regions with mild winters (USDA hardiness zones 8-10), Calla Lilies can be left in the ground and will likely return annually. Just layer them up with some extra mulch.

In colder climates (zones 7 and below), the rhizomes must be dug up and stored indoors during winter to protect them from frost. Replant the rhizomes in spring after the risk of frost has passed, and they should grow and bloom again, providing a beautiful display of flowers each year.
