Calla lilies have such an elegant, vase-like shape that it's hard to imagine them growing in the wild. But sure enough, these plants are native to South Africa and will grow in full sun to partial shade. They are hardy to Zone 8, but in cooler regions they can be treated just like Dahlias — lift the bulbs in the fall and store over winter in a frost-free spot. Calla Majestic Red is deer resistant, and can even be grown indoors as a houseplant. They bloom from May to frost.

Bulbs are easy to plant and easy to grow. Flower Bulbs are broken down into two very general groups – Fall planting bulbs benefit from sitting in cold soil. Spring planting bulbs do not require cold soil to trigger flowering. Fall planting bulbs can be planted any time between late September and January, but most gardeners plant fall bulbs in October and November, about the same time you would plant garlic. Fall planting bulbs will bloom the following spring and early summer. Spring planting bulbs should be sunk into the ground in March and April. They tend to bloom later in the spring, into mid-summer.
