This variety is the crème de la crème of the calla world. Specially selected for their intense production of flowers, these free-flowering gems will deliver endless color and fragrance all season long.

So happy with these! They grew rapidly and bloomed like crazy!
Just stunning
Verified Buyer
These came up beautifully and have been blooming for months. Just gorgeous. Lots of compliments from the neighbors passing by.
pretty plant
Verified Buyer
The calla lilys grew and bloomed in late spring. I'm going to add more next year.
Slow grower
Planted in pots indoors in a grow room (about 60-65F) early in the year. 1 sprouted after a month, a 2nd after two, and a 3rd finally after 3 months. The other two never came up. Plants were slow growers but did flower. Purple Sensation are the lighter lilies in the front, a different nursery bought lily is behind them.
Messed up my planned show garden
Verified Buyer
They arrived I planted them they grew but they were no where close to purple sensation Pretty bad when you can depend on what you order today the color was so far off more like ugly pink
Great bloomer
Verified Buyer
Has bloomed all summer.
Not purple
The bulbs did well, sprouted quickly and grew fast. The plant seems hardy but barely flowered and the flowers were pink - definitely not the purple I expected or wanted. It has been fertilized, watered and appropriate amount of sunshine. BUT, again, not purple. 3 stars are for good bulbs, and growth rate but not many flowers and not even close to the color as advertised. I would not recommend based on not being the color advertised and very few flowers.

I planted these purple calla lilies into 2 pots and they were glorious baskets of color at my garden entrance!
Brightener for new garden
Verified Buyer
even prettier than hoped: they came out with an hombre effect, deep purple in the middle brightening to white at the edge
Disappointed
Verified Buyer
The HYbrid Calla Lily did not bloom as much as I would hope. Disappointed

- Q
So I received this plant for Mother's Day,should I plant it outside or can it stay in the container indoors. How to take care of it
- Asked by Arletta
- Verified Reply - AngelaCalla Lily Purple Sensations can be grown equally well in pots or in the ground. Plant the bulbs outside after it is warm. They will appreciate a sandy, well drained soil and full sun to partial shade. Plant the bulbs 3-4 inches deep. Mulch the top of the soil. Give them a little water when planted and then wait until you see top growth to water again.Was this answer helpful to you
- Q
Are these Perienals? Also if you buy a bag 5 or more can you select a mix of colors, purple, pink & yellow?
- Asked by Dione
- Verified Reply - ViciCalla lilies are perennial in zone 9 and 10. They will need to be lifted in the fall and stored in a cool dry place in all other zones. I am sorry but the mix of colors is sold out at this time and are only available in bags of one color.Was this answer helpful to you
- Q
Will these calla lilies return next year?
- Asked by Sally
- Verified Reply - ViciCalla lilies need to be lifted in zone 3 - 8. You are in zone 8b which is close to zone 9 so with protection (mulching in unusually cold winters) these bulbs could return the next year. Calla lilies do not tolerate frozen soil. Was this answer helpful to you
- Q
when do you plant these?
- Asked by Florence
- Verified Reply - ViciCalla Lilies are planted in the spring. When you place your order you will be given an approximate shipping date. You should plant the bulb as soon as you can once you receive it.Was this answer helpful to you
- Q
Can this plant be grown indoors
- Asked by Susan
- Verified Reply - ViciYes. Calla Lilies can grow well indoors. Calla lilies inside prefer temperatures between 65 degrees F. and 75 degrees F. as ideal growing temperatures. Be sure not to keep a growing plant any colder than about 55 degrees F. (13 C.), except when your plant goes dormant. Keep your indoor calla lilies continually moist and never allow them to dry out. Calla lilies in the home prefer some sunshine but be careful to avoid hot midday sun as this can burn the leaves. An eastern window with morning sun or western window with afternoon sun will be ideal for this plant. You’ll want to regularly fertilize your plants throughout the growing season with a low nitrogen fertilizer as this will help with flowering. Was this answer helpful to you
