With their elegant trumpet shape and striking colours, Calla Lilies (sometimes called Arum Lilies) bring a touch of sophistication and grace to any bouquet or floral arrangement. Here’s how to keep these majestic blooms looking their best for as long as possible.

Caring for Your Cut Calla Lilies

• The Right Vase: Calla Lilies have thick, smooth stems. Use a vase with a wide opening and sturdy base to support their structure.

• Cleanliness Counts: Always start with a spotless vase to avoid bacterial build-up that can shorten their lifespan.

• Fresh Angles: Cut about an inch off the stems at a 45-degree angle to improve water uptake.

• Cool Water: Unlike many flowers, Calla Lilies prefer cool water. Refresh the water every other day.

• Avoid the Pollen: The central yellow spadix contains pollen that can stain. If you’re displaying the lilies near light fabrics, gently remove the pollen using clean scissors.

• Strategic Placement: Keep your arrangement away from direct sunlight, heaters, or draughts to prevent early wilting.

Interesting Facts About Calla Lilies

• Symbolism: Calla Lilies are often associated with purity, faith, and rebirth – making them a popular choice for weddings, funerals, and religious events.

• Not True Lilies: Despite the name, Calla Lilies are not true lilies. They belong to the Araceae family.

• Rich History: These iconic flowers have been depicted in classical art for centuries and were highly valued in Ancient Egypt.
