Hybrid Calla Lilies Red Alert
Hybrid Calla Lilies Red Alert
One of the most exquisite calla lilies we've found, Red Alert Hybrid Calla Lilies will stop garden visitors in their tracks. The scarlet red, upright, trumpet-shaped flowers are up to 5" tall and 2-3" across. Dark green foliage spotted with cream provides a gorgeous backdrop to the blooms. Like other calla lilies, Red Alert is treasured as a cut flower for bouquets and indoor arrangements. Native to South Africa, calla lilies can be used in beds, borders, patio pots or planters. They grow best in full sun to partial shade.

Adds striking color to landscape.
Verified Buyer
These calla's all came up and bloomed. They lasted well and the foliage was lush also. I recommend them for folks as they grew in all the locations I grew them.
If you need red color on your patio, try Red Alert!
Verified Buyer
The Red Alert calla lilies are really red! They are short, but they are beautiful! I grew them in a container and they grew very well.
Hoping next year will be better!
Verified Buyer
I have different types of lilies; always wanted red. I think they are young. Only one opened and was 'red alert'. The rest grew, but stayed flat and not very colorful. Hoping next year will be better.
I was let down because of wrong colormessed up display
Verified Buyer

Merchant Response
Thank you for writing a review of the Hybrid Calla Lilies Red Alert. We are truly sorry to hear that this item failed to bloom in the correct color. Upon reviewing your account, we are delighted to see that our Customer Care team has already honored our guarantee for you, by issuing merchandise credit.
only took 5 plantings
I ordered & paid - nothing grew - they sent replacements - nothing grew. I ordered & paid again - nothing grew. I ordered again, this time I got 4 out of 5 to bloom. Color was not as expected but ok and they were not as tall as expected. I have to "lift" in the fall so not sure how or if they will come back. I also noted this time, 4 out of the 5 were already growing when I received them. leads me to believe the previous orders were not viable to begin with.
LOVE THESE LITTLE BEAUTIES
Verified Buyer
These calla lillies are gorgeous and every plant came up and bloomed the first year. The red color is quite beautiful and the leaves are even full of colors. I purchased wire stakes to prop them up and they looked like beauties standing in a pageant show. I would recommend these to any flower gardner, you won't be disappointed.
Never again, less than half the bulbs bloomed
Verified Buyer

Waiting on the bloom
Verified Buyer
It came up but didn't learn I'm looking forward to seeing the blow
Unsure
Verified Buyer
I ordered 5 and I think maybe 3 came up. They didn't bloom so unsure of how they may look in person. 😕
Beautiful foliage, but no blooms
Verified Buyer
All of the bulbs came up with healthy looking foliage, but not a single one bloomed. I'm hopeful they will come up and bloom next season.
