Know before you buy
Hardy waterlilies are perennials that can survive winter dormancy in most climates, provided their roots are kept below the ice line in your pond. They are generally more resilient and easier to maintain than tropical varieties.
For optimal growth, place the tuber in an aquatic pot and submerge it so the top of the crown is 6 to 18 inches below the water surface. As the plant matures, you can adjust the depth to suit the specific conditions of your pond.
Yes, like most waterlilies, the 'Fabiola' thrives in full sun. Aim for at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily to ensure the most prolific blooming and healthy foliage development.
Waterlilies are heavy feeders. It is recommended to use specialized aquatic plant fertilizer tablets pushed into the soil around the roots during the growing season to encourage consistent, peony-shaped blooms.
It is normal for aquatic plants to experience minor stress during transit. Once planted in a pond with adequate water depth and sunlight, the rhizome should recover and begin producing new, healthy leaves within a few weeks.
