Are you growing calceolaria in California, but don’t know when they’ll bloom?
Getting your Calceolaria to bloom is not as easy as it seems.

When Do Calceolaria Bloom in California?
As you may have already guessed, there are two main factors that determine when Calceolaria will bloom: where your Calceolaria are planted & weather (time).
Bloom Time Depends on Where Your Calceolaria Are Planted!!!
When your Calceolaria will bloom will depend on exactly where it is planted in your yard or garden
In general, expect the following:
- If a calceolaria is planted in an area of your yard that receives full sun it will bloom around the same time every year or up to two weeks early due to warm weather and extra sunlight.
- If a calceolaria is planted in an area of your yard that received partial sun it will bloom around the same time every year.
- If a calceolaria is planted in an area of your yard that receives shade and is not protected from wind or rain it will bloom anywhere from 1 to 3 weeks later than its average time.
