I went to the garden store today and splurged. I got myself a Calla Lily; I love them... but how do I take care of it, lol! No directions.. it's a dwarf Calla Lily.

Thanks!

Here are the ones in Plant Files if you want to look and see the care for them, it should be pretty similar no matter which one you have. [HYPERLINK@davesgarden.com]

I can't speak at all for your climate, but I have mine in a place where they get some morning sun but mostly shade in the afternoon, and I water them regularly. They do tend to die back a little and look kind of ratty sometimes in the summer if it gets too hot, but they come back no problem as soon as the weather cools down.

Thanks, i'm not sure yet where i'll put them, but that helped. I'm tempted to keep them in a container, but i do have a spot in the back fence area that may work.
