Plant 'Picasso' Calla Lily bulbs in spring, and in mid to late summer, they produce extraordinary 2- to 3-inch trumpet-shaped blooms with dark purple throats and creamy white rims. These unique bicolor blooms are a coveted cut flower that make exceptionally beautiful summer bouquets and stunning additions to mixed floral arrangements. They are set atop incredibly attractive, large, lightly speckled, arrow-shaped leaves on lush plants that typically mature to 12 to 36 inches tall.

A species of the Zantedeschia genus, commonly called calla lily, 'Picasso' is a rhizomatous perennial (Zones 8-10) native to South Africa. This calla lily is an excellent specimen plant but is shown to best effect when grouped in garden beds, borders, and containers, with 3 bulbs usually filling out a 10- to 12-inch patio pot nicely. It can also be grown as a houseplant indoors in a sunny window. But 'Picasso' is a must-have for a cutting garden.

Callas are easy to grow plants, growing best in a sunny to partially shady spot with loose, medium moist, freely draining soil. Best flowering will be in full sun; however, in warmer climates, afternoon shade may prove beneficial. Plant 'Picasso' calla lily bulbs in warm spring soil after the threat of frost has passed, spacing bulbs 12 to 24 inches apart and 4 inches deep, with the 'eyes' or growing points facing upwards. Keep plants well fertilized and watered during the growing season and never allow them to dry out at any time.

Calla bulbs are only summer hardy, so be prepared to dig them up in fall or treat them as an annual in areas that receive frost in the winter.
