When to plant Black Star Calla

Black Star Calla is tender: plant it out after the last frost, once the soil has warmed. In the middle of its hardy zones 8 to 10 range that means February or March; where spring comes later, it goes out later. Expect flowers from June to August.

Month-by-month timing for your zone is on the planting calendar: for the middle of its range, start with zone 9 in February.
