In Indiana, Calla Lily bulbs should be dug up and stored for the winter, as they are not winter-hardy in colder climates. After the first frost, it's best to carefully remove the bulbs from the ground, clean them, and let them dry before storing them in a cool, dry place. This will help protect them from freezing temperatures and ensure they can be replanted in the spring.
