Growing Rocket Calla Lily Bulbs

Plant calla lily bulbs in spring after danger of frost has passed. Space bulbs 12 inches apart and plant them 4 inches deep in rich, well-draining soil. Rocket Calla Lily performs best in full sun to partial shade, with consistent watering during active growth. Avoid soggy soil conditions to prevent rot, especially during the early calla lily life cycle stages. For detailed bulb planting tips and care, visit our Flower Bulb Growing Guide.

Climate and Soil Requirements

These tropical bulbs thrive in USDA zones 8–10, where they can remain in the ground year-round. In colder zones, dig up bulbs after the first frost and store them in a cool, dry place for replanting the following spring. Choose a planting location with nutrient-rich, well-drained soil.

Sunlight and Watering

Callas prefer full sun in cooler climates and partial shade in warmer regions. Keep soil evenly moist during the blooming period, and reduce watering once foliage begins to yellow as the plant enters dormancy.

Care and Maintenance

Fertilize monthly during the growing season with a balanced fertilizer to encourage robust blooms. After flowering, allow leaves to naturally die back. In zones where bulbs must be lifted, cure them for several days before storing.
