Calla Lily Newbie

Plymouth, PA(Zone 5b)

Someone sent me calla Lily bulbs. They still have leaves on them (just cut down). I need directions on what to do with them and how to care for them.
thanks

I've never received one like this, they are usually dormant bulbs when I get them or in pots at the nursery. They will take a rest period in the summer by going dormant and need to be a bit dry while resting. I'd say yours will rest now that the leaves are gone. I'd pot it up in a 6" clay pot, using good peat based potting soil, water it in and watch for new growth. If it doesn't start growing, let it rest.
