Tropical Water Lilies

Hardy Water Lilies are amazing water lilies in the Nymphaea genus. They will grow and come back each season in most areas, provided the tubers are not allowed to freeze.

As with all lilies & lotus, they do require generally at least 6 hours of sunlight to flower. A few varieties will flower with less light but 6 hours is the recommended minimum.



We have a very broad selection of hardy lilies, for ponds ranging from tub gardens to lakes. Growth habit and size are things to take into consideration when purchasing hardy lilies. Lily pads shade the pond providing excellent cover for fish and other aquatic wildlife and play a very imporant role.
