Water Lillies 21cm baskets

Hardy water lillies - variety of colour options available, please call for information on what’s in stock.

Available late September to April (Weather permitting)

The hardy water lily is a great easy care plant well suited to growing just about anywhere in New Zealand. A good range of flower colours are available with the very popular pink, yellow, white and red colours well catered for.

Hardy water lillies can start flowering as early as August, however late September/October is a more common time.

The ideal conditions vary slightly from plant to plant although most love as much sun as possible. Depth can vary from 50mm (2 inches) from the top of the basket to 915mm (36 inches). A good all round depth of about 300-400mm (12-16 inches) will accommodate most plants. As much as the plants are delicate to touch they are as their name implies `hardy’. If leaves or flowers are damaged they will produce new growth quickly if grown in good conditions and fertilised properly.

Some people swear by repotting their waterlilies every season to get the best out of the plant. This process can be necessary if your main plant has pushed through new plants from the main rhizome and division is needed.

Regular feeding with a seasonal or regular tablet provides your your water lily with all the nutrients they require for growth, lush leaves and flowering.
