Pasja Calla Lily Bulbs

Pasja Calla Lilies offer bold, show-stopping blooms that move from soft pink to deep purple on sleek, trumpet-shaped flowers. Compact and elegant, they work equally well as a striking border, a patio focal point, or a chic indoor display.

Highlights

• Striking color range: Flowers vary from pale pink to rich purple for strong visual impact.
• Compact & adaptable: Small habit makes them great for containers, beds, or mixed borders.
• Attracts pollinators: Early-summer blooms draw bees and other beneficial insects.
• Easy-care: Tolerant of full sun to part shade and forgiving for beginner gardeners.

Planting Guide

• When to plant: Outdoors after the last frost; or start indoors 4–6 weeks before your last frost date.
• Light: Full sun to partial shade — morning sun with afternoon protection works well in hot climates.
• Soil: Use well-draining, fertile soil. Work in compost or well-rotted manure to improve texture and nutrients.
• Depth & orientation: Plant bulbs 1–2 inches deep with the growing point (eye) facing up.
• Spacing: Leave 6–9 inches between bulbs to allow room for growth and airflow.
• First watering: Water thoroughly after planting and keep the soil consistently moist (not waterlogged) while they establish.

Ongoing Care

• Watering: Maintain evenly moist soil during the growing season; reduce moisture as foliage dies back. Avoid standing water.
• Fertilizer: Feed with a balanced liquid fertilizer every 2–3 weeks while plants are actively growing and blooming.
• Mulch: Apply a 2-inch mulch layer to conserve moisture and suppress weeds, keeping mulch slightly away from crowns.
• Deadheading: Remove spent flowers to keep plants tidy and encourage more blooms.
• Winter care: In colder areas (zones 7 and below), lift bulbs after foliage fades, let them dry, then store in a cool, dry place until spring.

Growing in Containers

Pasja Calla Lilies excel in pots. Choose a container with good drainage and a high-quality potting mix amended with compost. Place the pot in a bright spot with indirect or morning sun. Keep the soil evenly moist and you’ll enjoy elegant stems and long-lasting blooms — perfect for patios, balconies, or indoor vases.
