When I bought my first calla bulbs, they were listed as growing in shade. Of course, I didn't get any blooms. I finally looked in the PLants Files and found they like sun-a little shade..
I have some miniature lavender ones. Since I'm in zone 6-7, I guess I need to dig them and plant them in a sunnier location in the spring. Is there any other advice, say, about what kind of fertilizer and how often. Am I right about the sun (I live in a cooler mountaintop climate). Elaborate on anything you think would be helpful
