Why Grow a Pink Hardy Water Lily?

Water lilies are one of the most popular flowering pond plants for good reason. Their large floating leaves and beautiful flowers instantly transform the appearance of a pond.

A pink hardy water lily can provide:

• Beautiful pink flowers above the water
• Attractive floating foliage
• Shade across the surface of the pond
• A natural focal point for your water garden
• Shelter and cover for fish and other pond life
• Seasonal colour throughout the warmer months

Because this is a generic pink variety, it is also an affordable way to add a flowering water lily to your pond when a particular named cultivar isn't important.

Growing Pink Hardy Water Lilies

Hardy water lilies are perennial aquatic plants that spend much of their growing season producing leaves and flowers across the surface of the pond.

For the best flowering performance, position your water lily where it will receive plenty of direct sunlight.

As the plant establishes, its foliage will spread across the surface of the water, while flowers rise above the water line to create an eye-catching display.

A water lily also adds another layer of habitat to your pond. The leaves provide shade and shelter for fish and other aquatic life beneath the surface.

Position

For the best results, plant your Pink Hardy Water Lily in full sun.

Water lilies need good sunlight to produce strong growth and flowers, so avoid heavily shaded areas if flowering is a priority.

A position receiving several hours of direct sunlight each day will give your water lily the best opportunity to thrive and produce flowers throughout the warmer growing season.

Planting Depth

Pink Hardy Water Lilies are best positioned at approximately 30–60cm below the water surface.

When planting a dormant corm, take care to position it correctly in an aquatic planting basket using suitable aquatic soil.

As the plant establishes, it will develop foliage that reaches the surface and produces flowers above the water.

If your pond is deeper than the recommended planting depth, you can initially position the basket at a shallower level and gradually lower it as the plant develops.

Pink Flowers Above the Water

One of the defining features of a hardy water lily is its beautiful flowers, which are held above the surface of the water.

Our Pink Hardy Water Lily is supplied as a generic pink corm, so the exact shade and flower characteristics can vary from plant to plant.

This makes each plant a little different, and is ideal for customers who simply want a beautiful pink flowering water lily rather than a specific named cultivar.

Please note: Our pink hardy water lilies are generic and may differ in flower colour, shape and appearance. The product image is a guide only.

Suitable for Cold Climates

Hardy water lilies are an excellent choice for ponds in colder climates.

Unlike tropical water lilies, hardy varieties are suited to seasonal changes and can remain dormant during colder periods before returning to active growth as temperatures rise.

This makes them particularly suitable for Australian gardens that experience cool winters and frost.

Planting Your Pink Hardy Water Lily Corm

For best results:

• Plant the dormant corm in a suitable aquatic planting basket
• Use aquatic soil designed for water plants
• Position the growing point correctly when planting
• Place the basket approximately 30–60cm below the water surface
• Position the plant in full sun for the best flowering
• Allow space for the leaves to spread across the pond surface
• Keep the water lily well watered during establishment

Once established, your water lily will gradually produce leaves and flowers across the surface of the pond.

Feeding Your Hardy Water Lily

Water lilies are heavy-growing flowering plants and benefit from regular feeding during the growing season.

Use a slow-release aquatic fertiliser tablet designed specifically for water lilies and aquatic plants. Push the tablet into the aquatic soil around the plant's root zone, following the manufacturer's recommended application rate.

Avoid adding fertiliser directly to the pond water, as excess nutrients can encourage unwanted algae growth.

A Beautiful Pink Addition to Your Pond

A Pink Hardy Water Lily is a wonderful way to create a classic water garden look, with attractive floating foliage and beautiful flowers rising above the water.

Our generic pink corms are an excellent choice for small to medium-sized ponds, particularly when you want a beautiful flowering water lily without needing a specific named variety.

Add a Pink Hardy Water Lily to your pond and enjoy beautiful seasonal flowers, floating foliage and a classic water garden feature — all from a dormant corm.
