AZ Gardens Winter Hardy Water Lily

Being winter hardy means this variety is capable of surviving freezing temperatures and dormant periods outdoors. In many climates, the plant will die back to its rhizome in the winter and naturally regrow when the water warms in the spring.

Water lilies generally thrive when the crown of the plant is submerged 6 to 18 inches below the water surface. You can adjust the depth by placing the container on bricks or a dedicated aquatic plant stand.

The three-unit minimum ensures that the plants arrive in optimal condition and provide immediate visual impact in your pond. Planting them in a small group creates a more natural, established look compared to a single isolated plant.

Yes, the 'Pink Sensation' is specifically noted for its extended bloom time. While many water lilies close their petals by mid-afternoon, this cultivar typically remains open into the late afternoon or early evening, allowing you to enjoy the color for longer.

Maintenance is minimal. Simply remove any yellowing or dead leaves as they appear to keep the plant healthy and encourage new growth. If the plant becomes root-bound in its container over several years, you may need to divide the rhizome.
