How to pack/ship calla lilies

San Jose, CA

I have a few extra calla lilies. What is the correct way to prepare them for shipping? Is there a right time of year to dig them? I'm not sure whether all greenery should be removed (probably, eh?). Then, should they be dried?

So many questions.

Thanks.

I ship all bulbs just wrapped in newspaper and boxed..If the foliage is still green, I would just trim it some and send them on, the foliage helps with next years flowering....Shake the bulk of the soil off, or even wash bulbs, and let dry..

Thanks, Larkie. Sounds similar to how I pack daylilies.
