'Nymphaea' Pink Sensation Pink Hardy Lily

For optimal growth, plant the bare root at a depth of 12 to 24 inches below the water surface. This depth allows the lily to establish its root system in the substrate while reaching the surface for sunlight.

Yes, this is a hardy perennial suitable for zones 3 through 11. In colder climates, the plant will go dormant during the winter and return once the water warms in the spring.

The Pink Sensation has a spread of 3 to 5 feet, making it best suited for medium-sized ponds. Ensure you have enough surface area to accommodate its growth without overcrowding other aquatic plants.

This lily requires full sun, meaning at least 6 hours of direct sunlight per day to bloom effectively. It does not require CO2 supplementation, as it is designed for outdoor pond environments.

You can plant the bare root directly into the pond bottom by securing it in a designated aquatic planting container or a pocket of substrate. Ensure the roots are firmly anchored so the plant can establish itself quickly.

The Pink Sensation is known for being a prolific bloomer that stays open later into the day than many other varieties. You can expect a consistent display of fragrant flowers throughout the summer and into the late season.
