Texas Dawn Lily

Yes, this is a hardy water lily variety. As long as the roots are kept below the freezing depth of your pond, it will go dormant in the winter and return the following spring.

Absolutely. Unlike many other water lilies that require full sun, the Texas Dawn is known for its ability to thrive in partial shade conditions.

The Texas Dawn is classified as a medium-sized lily. You should provide enough surface area for the pads to spread comfortably without covering the entire pond, which helps maintain healthy water oxygen levels.

As a floating aquatic plant, it is typically planted in an aquatic pot submerged in the pond. Use a heavy, clay-based garden soil topped with pea gravel to keep the soil contained and the water clear.

This variety is prized for its extended blooming cycle. You can expect consistent flowers from the early start of the season all the way through to the final warm days of autumn.
