Calla Greengoddess from Spring Co-op

hiram, GA(Zone 7b)

The Goddess is making her presence known again! This time the flower has lasted on the plant for almost 3 weeks. 7" long and 4" wide...She is truly glorious. This plant has already been divided once for the year, without cutting the mother bulb.

My calla put out three blossoms, then quit. I didn't cut off the flower stalk and now have seed heads. This is my first year with them. Do I let the seeds mature , then plant them or cut them off now for some rebloom?

Wow that is gorgeous! Now I'm definitely not sorry I paid full price. (Wish I had known about coops last year). How old is your goddess? About how many leaves before it blooms?

My goddess was a huge 3" diameter bulb when I got her from the co-op in November. I planted her in a pot when I got her, and then after she bloomed in February in the house, I moved her to an outdoor bed in March. At that time, I split the newly forming babies off of her. She is about 24" tall, with a lot of leaves. Her leaves are all dark green, and 8-10" long. This one has done really well with shade in the afternoon...I'm finding the Georgia sun too intense for some of them. I've had seeds on my lavender and was told to let them stay on the plant until the head fell over. I had to take my seeds off, because ants started eating them, but planted them just incase. I think there is a thread on here that I started about callas seeding.
