Wonderful Water Lilies

06/02/2025

We have added several new and some old varieties to our inventory this year including Key West, Coral Sky, Peach Twist, Doris Holt and Marian Strawn and of course the tried- and-true varieties.
If you have a large pond, try Victoria cruziana. The pads may grow to eight feet in diameter with a pie crust edge but may be grown in a smaller pot to keep the leaves smaller. We grew one in an 8 ft. sq. pond and it was still impressive.

June 2, 2025. It's a magical time of year! The ponds are full of blooming water lilies.

Do you know how to have 24 hours of blooms? The answer is to plant both day and night blooming water lilies. The night blooming water lilies stay open until about 10 am unless it is cool or overcast and then they stay open later and sometimes all day. This morning a melon sized Missouri water lily greeted me. A sight to behold!
The night blooming water lilies are also available in red and pink.
