Know before you buy
Being winter hardy means this variety is capable of surviving freezing temperatures and dormant periods in outdoor ponds. As long as the rhizome is kept below the ice line or protected from total freezing, the plant will return the following growing season.
This lily thrives in both full and partial sun. For the most prolific blooming, aim for at least six hours of direct sunlight per day.
Yes, this variety is well-suited for both large and small outdoor ponds. Its growth habit is manageable, making it a versatile choice for various water garden sizes.
No, this water lily does not require CO2 injections. While it is easy to care for, we recommend using aquatic plant fertilizer tablets in the planting container to support its robust blooming habit throughout the season.
Propagation is best achieved through rhizome division. You can divide the root system during the plant's dormant period or early spring to create new, independent plants.
