Description

These hardy water lilies are called "Changeable" because the blooms change colors over a period of days. Often, the lily pads will have different colors within them as well. These hardy water lilies can winter over year after year. Water lilies are "deep water" plants meaning that they grow in water levels of 1′ up. "Small" water lilies, otherwise known as dwarf or pymgy water lilies, can be placed in a pond or in a container garden.

Growing hardy Water Lilies is easy! Maintenance is even easier. The best "soil" to use for hardy Water Lilies is Aquatic Planting Media. This media does not compact, which allows for hardy Water Lily roots to become established. Top soil, potting soil, and other "gardening" soil mediums foul pond water and can be toxic to pond fish. Water Lilies are heavy feeders and should be fertilized regularly for best growth and blooms. Liquid and tablet form of Aquatic Plant fertilizer often work best. It is recommended to put some decorative gravel on top of the aquatic planting medium to weigh the plant down and to keep the Pond Fish from rooting in the container.

Maintaining hardy Water Lilies is easy, too! Trim off spent blooms and pads to promote rapid regeneration and that’s it! After a season or two the hardy water lilies can be separated and divided so the plant does not direct all of its energy to it’s roots but rather to its pretty pads and blooms.
