We moved into our new home last and year and last spring an entire
area of Calla Lillys errupted near a fence. The area is about 3 feet
wide and at least 15 feet long. Full of Lillys, we wanted to use the
space for something else so I cut them off, but I guess that didn't
work because they all came back again and keep growing.

Any ideas on how to get rid of them? Round-up?

Thanks!

Dig them up and send them to me!

Dig up the bulbs or heavily rototill the area when they first start to
come up. Do this enough and it should discourage them.

Roundup works, too.

Are they Callas or Cannas?

I'll take the ones you don't want!

Lord A'mighty! I can't imagine anyone wanting to get rid of calla
Lilies! I don't think they're hardy where I live so the winter would
get rid of them for me.

Those things are insanely expensive to buy, I think if you posted a
"free calla lily bulbs, you dig" and people would take care of that
problem for you RIGHT NOW!

Some associate them with funerals and so may not want them, but other
than those few, I think most anyone who knows what they are would
fight over 'em ;-) Wish I was close enough, and in a climate they'd
like, I'd be right over with a shovel.

Well, if anyone lives in the San Jose, CA area, send me an email and
if you dig me up, they are yours....They are currently blooming and
are about 3 feet tall.

Otherwise, I'll try Roundup on a few and see if that works.

Dig up a bunch, put in box, contact me and I'll send you some postage, I've got
5ac's of Desert land I can plant them in.

Wow--where do you live? If you were anywhere near me, I'd dig them up
myself if you let me keep them.

Are you sure they are Calla Lillies? They sound like ordinary day lilies to
me. What color are they?

This is a very common problem in New Zealand. Calla Lilies are the
South African Zantedeschia aethiopica. They are frequently called the
white arum lily and lily of the nile. They are frost tender and will
grow in boggy conditions or even in shallow water. This site from the
obnoxious weed site of the government of New Zealand:

http://www.ebop.govt.nz/weeds/weed17.asp

has this advice on controlling unwanted Calla Lilies:

Physical Control: Slash stems and dig out all rhizomes.

Disposal: Stems and leaves may be left to mulch. Do not mulch or
compost rhizomes because they always resprout. Bury rhizomes at a
landfill or dry and burn thoroughly.

Chemical Control: Spray foliage or slash stems and spray cut stumps.
(i) Escort + Pulse. Apply from spring to late autumn. Rate
- Handgun 25 g Escort + 100 mls Pulse/100 litres water. Knapsack 5 g
Escort + 10 mls Pulse/10 litres water. Mistblower 10 g Escort + 10 mls
Pulse/10 litres water.

(ii) Roundup + Pulse. Rate - Handgun 2 litres Roundup + 200 mls
Pulse/100 litres water. Knapsack 150 mls + 20 mls Pulse/10 litres water.

Recommended Approach: Isolate a problem area and systematically
eradicate plant from the site. It spreads relatively slowly so the
systematic eradication can be possible over quite large areas.

I may be wrong, but I think the point was she didn't want to DIG that
much. Otherwise she'd probably have dug 'em out. My apologies if I
was wrong!
