Callas survived winter !

21 years ago

Actually two winters

These were your average HD tubers I plopped two years ago next to my new roses. I did not bother digging them up.

Last year they came up leaves only no flower, this year, Huge long (almost a meter) leaves and yes flowers, several, all growing through the roses.

I thought callas were not supposed to survive frost.

So, what gives?

Hi CK
Your in NJ, I'm on Long Island, and have the same thing, :) not only that some how I missed digging a dahlia tuber last fall, it also overwintered and is now producing beautiful flowers. Dahlias are not supposed to over winter here, just as callas aren't supposed to. We had a lot of snow last winter and I'm guessing that helped insulate the ground, now what about my canna's, think that will work with them, LOL

Callas routinely survive for me. If we have an extremely cold winter it seems like the pink varieties might not come thru.
