I have a small pot of calla lilies from Easter. They are looking rather
sick at the moment. I understand that they can be planted outdoors--and
actually prefer that environment--but when should they be transplanted?
Now? Or do I need to save the bulbs and plant next spring? Where is the
best location to plant them?

Many thanks!

Thanks for the response.

Do I simply transplant them, or should I trim the foliage the way I do my
iris?

Also, the lilies were extremely close together when potted. Should I plant
the bulbs farther apart?

Obviously, I have NO experience with lilies!

Thanks again.
