Tropical Water Lily

Tropical Water Lilies grow in Perth November/December through to July when they go into dormancy. They will lose all their leaves when dormant.

Tropical Water Lily flowers stand high above the water level and have a delicious perfume. The flower, stems and leaves are all edible.

For best results, Tropical water lilies generally prefer the following conditions:

* Depths of 30cm up to 1m
* At least 6 hours of direct morning sun. Shaded positions will result in poor flowering.
* Fertilising regularly, every 2 months over the growing season is recommended.
* Positioning on the bottom of the pond.
* Warning – Use of any algae killing/clearing chemicals are often detrimental to water lilies, so please avoid.

If you need it posted you can purchase this variety as a bare rooted corm, which you will need to pot yourself. We do recommend that you use a specific water plant mix and slow release fertiliser for best results.
