Water lilies grow well in any USDA hardiness zone.
Water lilies can be grown in a tub on the patio or in ponds of any size. They grow from tubers planted in pots beneath the water and send up stems with rounded leaves and star-shaped blossoms that float on the surface.
Hardy lilies are dependable and easy to plant. Daytime bloomers, they blossom in the morning and close after sunset, lasting three or four days before sinking beneath the surface.
Hardy water lilies go dormant in winter and may be left in the water or stored.
Step 1: Fill a planting tub with 2" of a clay-based material and 2" of clay/soil mix. (not included with kit)
Step 2: Add a 3-4" layer of aquatic planting media on top.
Step 3: Plant the tuber in a horizontal position with the bottom root end close to the tub wall and the growing tip pointed upwards and towards the center. The tuber should be placed down into the soil just enough to be anchored with the growing tip exposed just above the planting media.
Step 4: If desired, place a light layer of gravel/rock on top of the planting media.
Step 5: Place the planting tub into the pond. The water's surface level should be 3-6" above the growing tip of the stem.
Step 6: For water lilies, use 1 to 2 Thrive™ tabs every 2 to 4 weeks.
