Why Grow a Pink Hardy Water Lily?

• Beautiful pink flowers above the water

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.

Why Grow a Hardy Water Lily?

The yellow flowers provide a bright splash of colour during the warmer months, while the floating leaves add shade and cover to the pond surface.

What You Will Receive

This product is supplied as a hardy water lily corm only.

The corm is not supplied as an established potted plant. You will need to plant the corm in a suitable aquatic planting container and place it into your pond at the recommended depth.

As the corm establishes, it will produce new growth, lily pads and eventually flowers.

Planting Your Water Lily Corm

Plant the corm into a suitable aquatic planting basket using quality aquatic planting media.

Position the corm in the basket according to its growing direction, ensuring the growing point is positioned correctly so new shoots can emerge.

Once planted, gradually position the basket in the pond so the growing depth is approximately 30–60cm.

The exact depth can depend on the size and stage of growth of the plant. Starting slightly shallower can be beneficial while a newly planted corm is establishing, before moving it to its final depth as the plant develops.

Avoid covering the growing point of the corm too deeply.

Position

Hardy water lilies flower best in full sun.

Choose a position where your water lily will receive plenty of direct sunlight throughout the day. Good sunlight is important for encouraging healthy growth and flowering.

Hardy water lilies are suitable for cold climates, making them a great choice for ponds where winter temperatures can be low.

Growing Your Water Lily

After planting, be patient while your corm establishes.

The corm will first develop roots and new shoots before producing floating lily pads. Once established, the lily pads will gradually spread across the surface of the water and flowers will emerge above the water line.

Give your water lily plenty of room to develop and avoid overcrowding it with other vigorous plants.

Feeding Your Hardy Water Lily

Water lilies benefit from regular feeding during their growing season.

Use a suitable aquatic fertiliser tablet, inserting it into the planting media around the corm while taking care not to damage the plant. Always follow the manufacturer's instructions for application rate and frequency.

Regular feeding will help support healthy foliage and flowering once the plant is actively growing.
