the world with this thought:

I was given a calla lily for a gift. I have hear that the can be planted
out doors. I haven't been able to find and info on the how to do this.
Does anyone have ay experience with this they would like to share?
I live in Southwestern Idaho, incase climate matters for the lily plant.
We have a long growing season, but it does freeze in the late fall.

For what it's worth, I have several outside in the ground--they come
up like clockwork, as they have for the past 30 years, at least, but
then, I live a little south of San Francisco as opposed to Idaho.

As far as I know, the rhizomes won't take freezing, but the plant
itself is relatively hardy. Dig the bulbs up before winter if it snows
around there and replant them after it thaws, what the hey.

Call a nursery, see what they say.

and don't eat it.
