Does anyone have any dwarf calla lily to trade or share with me? I'm a new member and posed this in the wrong place so hope this is the right place? I want to grow them indoors cause our winters are cold and they will not survive outside? I do not want the regular ones cause they grow to tall?Hope someone can help me out here?Bye

It' hard to tell one from the other from a picture. Here is a site with lots of varieties so you can compare. Most of the colored ones esp. the darker ones are not hardy in zone 7. Leave them in the pot and let them almost dry out for the winter or keep barely moist. A garage or storage room will be ok. They only need to be protected from the frost. I have even kept some under the eves and they survive. But they need a little longer growing period than we have so starting them inside in the spring will give you flowers earlier. The white varieties aethiopica will survice outside and bloom in early summer. Here is a link that might be useful: calla's

Susan, Brent and Becky's and McClure & Zimmerman both have good prices on healthy tubers. Parks/Wayside has newer varieties that are very reasonable when they put them on 50-70% off clearance in May or June. Lowe's has them really cheap in spring, but those tiny tubers need ICU to grow, usually won't bloom the first year, and then they are almost always mislabeled as to variety, so I think that's a major bummer. Often Krogers has 6" Azalea pots crammed full of dwarf hybrids in flower that can be cheaper & more reliable than ordering dormant tubers if you like those kinds. Didn't have to wait for the Wednesday cold front here. My whole backyard jungle froze and turned to mush last night. Time to start piling leaves over everything. Keiko

I watched a video on growing Cannas from seed. I live in Ont. ..so I waited until the pods turned brown..almost black... https://youtu.be/ocyDPVSAD3M I opened them and saved the seeds in a dry container. In March, I took sandpaper, and sanded each seed SLIGHTLY ...just until I just saw the white part inside. I then put them in a clear glass of water in a warm place until I could see a little white "bud" protruding...this could take 1 week, so be patient! Plant them in light soil, just below the top, under ANY kind of light...I used a regular florescent bulb. (You don't need anything fancy, or sunlight)Keep the soil moist, not wet. When they get bigger, take them outside during the day, when the warm weather permits to "harden" them. (Gets them used to being outside) Transfer outside when frost is finished...usually around June 1st. Mine bloomed the first year! The seeds were from a red canna...so far, they are YELLOW!!! I'm very pleased and excited! =)
