Quinn's Fins Tropical Water Lily

Tropical water lilies offer more prolific flowering, a stronger fragrance, and unique color options like true blue and purple that hardy varieties simply cannot produce. They also hold their blooms higher above the water surface for a more dramatic, architectural look.

Yes, but you will need to treat them as annuals or overwinter them indoors. Because they thrive in water temperatures of 70°F or warmer, they are best suited for zones 9-11, though many gardeners in cooler regions successfully grow them as seasonal plants.

These lilies require full sun, which means at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily. Without this level of exposure, you will likely see significantly fewer blooms and less vigorous foliage growth.

Use a heavy loam soil for the best results. Avoid lightweight potting mixes, as they tend to float away in a pond environment and do not provide the necessary nutrients or density for the roots to anchor properly.

Consistent fertilization is essential for tropical water lilies. Because they are such prolific bloomers, they quickly deplete the nutrients in their immediate soil, so you should use an aquatic plant fertilizer tablet throughout the growing season to maintain their health.
