I have some callas in pots. The first season they were great.. they have wained terribly and I do not expect hardly anything of them for this spring. I did nothing to fertilize them or anything.. shame on me, but they were gorgeous while they lasted!

Im afraid in my zone I cannot really make a crop out of them for cut flowers, but they would make a terrific hot house pot crop, which thatis hhow most are sold up here!

Jon. been meaning to ask you. do you do cannas and if so, what would be your advice on how early I should pot some? I have 3 in my cripser drawer in storage and was wondering, since my last frost date is mid April, if I were to plant them now if that was too early? Knowing of course I could not set them outside for any time soon? I was just wondering if I could have a little fun with them as house pets before their booting out of doors would be more doable? Then too, where should I place them best for lighting etc!
