Know before you buy

Yes, 'Wanvisa' thrives in full sun. To encourage the most prolific pink blooms, ensure your pond location receives direct sunlight for the majority of the day.

The plant is supplied as a sprouted tuber or rhizome. It is ready to be planted immediately upon arrival to help it establish quickly in your pond environment.
