Hello, I am writing from chilly (or soon to be chilly) New Brunswick. I decided to try Calla Lilies this summer and was very pleased with the beautiful flowers. Is there a way I can overwinter these indoors to use again next year? Also I tried non-stop tuberous begonias and would like to know if there is a way to overwinter those too? Thanks for any help you give. Marilyn
Hi If they are in pots let them dry out remove all leaves and stalks Store in cool dry place @35 to 45 deg.F. If they are in ground , Let the leaves tunrn entirely yellow/dig-up tubor/clean it remaove all stems/ and store in peat moss in a dry cool place @35 to 45 deg F. Do not letthem freeze. I have managed to keep mine going for 4 to 7 years now. As for lillies this my second attempt with them, So I am interesting in hearing about over winter them. I have them both in pots and in the ground Regards Doug
Thanks Doug. I can do this part. How should I handle them in the spring, then, once they have made it through the winter in their pots? Marilyn
