The deep violet blooms of this star shaped flower are outstanding. This lily has a delightful fragrance and is a profuse bloomer. We recommend 2-3 water lilies for a 10ft x 10ft surface area.
Hardy Water Lilies will survive over the winter in the USA. They bloom during the day while the suns out. If the lily pad is variegated it will be more shade tolerant. Most hardy lilies require a minimum of 6 hours of sunlight each day.
Tropical Water Lilies will not survive the winter in the USA, in order for them to survive they need to be brought inside. Tropical lilies are larger lilies then any hardy variety, they also have more blooms and the blooms open up in the late afternoon. These plants will die if temperatures drop below 50 degrees.
