TROPICAL WATER LILIES
Tropical water lilies should be treated as
annuals
. Tropical water lilies have huge flowers (up to 12" across);
their perfume permeates throughout the entire garden. They also have more blooms and a longer blooming
season than hardy varieties. Day blooming tropical lilies open from midmorning until late afternoon and Night
blooming lilies open at dusk and close mid morning when the sun is bright. However, night bloomers may
remain open on cloudy days.
Plants are shipped in 5" pots, ready to transplant into 18L (1 cu. ft.) container or
larger,
so there is little, if any, setback.
Tropical water lilies are
not shipped until June
when the water has warmed to about 20°C (70°F). Cold water is
likely to cause the young plants to become dormant.
Tropical water lilies should be grown at a depth of 6-8". Both day and night bloomers require full sun.
For Planting/Transplanting Information on Tropical Water Lilies see page 35.
For Overwintering Information see page 41.
