Some good options include ferns, astilbes, hostas, ligularias, and impatiens.<\/p>\n

If you live in an area where the weather gets cold in the winter, it’s important to bring your potted calla lilies indoors before the freezing weather arrives.

Put the pots in a sunny window to continue growing, or dig up the rhizomes and store them indoors.<\/p>\n
