“Canadian Grown”
Hardy water lilies are ideal for any water garden because of their perennial beauty, ease of culture, wealth of
bloom, and range of colour and form. They grow readily when provided with sunlight, rich soil, warm water,
and are exceptionally hardy. Their purchase may be considered a permanent investment. With reasonable care
hardy water lilies can be retained for many years.
All hardy water lilies are available bare root. Many are container grown in 8" pots. These plants must be
transplanted to an 18L (1 cu. ft.) container or larger, however, root disturbance is minimal in potted plants
and there is no set back in growth. This is especially important for late season planting. Potted lilies are highly
recommended after July 1st.
Odorata type lilies have a fast growing horizontal rhizome and require extra large planting containers (27 L or
All-Purpose Tub, see page 30). They are also suitable for naturalizing.
For Planting/Transplanting Information on Hardy Water Lilies see pages 35-36.
For Overwintering Information see page 40-42.
