When Do Calla Lilies Bloom?

The typical calla lily bloom time is in the summer and fall, but for many calla lily owners this time may come and go without a sign of buds or flowers from their calla lily plant. This is especially true for gardeners who grow their calla lilies in containers.

Why is my calla lily not flowering?

If you aren't watering your calla lilies enough or you've planted them in an area in your yard that doesn't get enough natural water, they won't bloom. Lack of water can cause the calla lily to appear wilted, and it might yellow.

Do calla lilies come back year after year?

Many people treat their gift calla lilies as annuals. They receive a potted flower, or buy them for spring decorating, and then toss it when the blooms are done. In truth, though, calla lilies are perennials and you can actually save your potted plant and watch it bloom again next year.
