Use and Care Manual

About This Variety: Passion Fruit callas produce large blooms atop tall stalks in a tropical looking
peach color. Flowers are good for cutting and have a long vase life. The rhizomes (bulbs) will
multiply, if zone appropriate, through offsets.
Growing Instructions: It is easy to grow callas. They prefer loose well-drained soil, planted in
full sun or partial shade in warmer climates. Plant after threat of frost has passed. The ‘eyes’ or
growing points should be facing upwards when planted. Water liberally during the growing season
as they should not be dry at any time. Three bulbs will usually fit a 10-12” pot.
Care Tip: Calla bulbs are only summer hardy, so be prepared to dig them up in fall or treat them
as an annual in areas receiving frost in the winter.
