How to Dry Calla Lily Seeds

Although not a true lily, a calla lily looks like a lily but is related to the jack-in-the-pulpit and a caladium. Calla lilies have trumpet-shaped flower blossoms usually in shades of white or pink. Usually grown from rhizomes that are dug up, calla lilies can grow from seed. Before storing them for another season, the seeds should be thoroughly dry.

- 2

- 3

  Check the seeds for dryness by trying to cut one in half with a sharp knife. Calla lily seeds look like small nuts and if they are hard and "crunchy" when you try to cut them, they are dry. If it is soft or mushy at all, it's not dry.
- 5
  Place your seeds in plain paper envelopes once they are dry for storage. You can easily label paper envelopes and they don't accumulate moisture, preventing the seeds from molding.
