Nymphaea Georgia Peach Water Lily

It means the plant is capable of surviving freezing temperatures if the pond is deep enough. As long as the root system (rhizome) stays below the ice line, the lily will go dormant in winter and return when the water warms in spring.

For best results, place the pots so the crown of the plant is 6 to 18 inches below the water surface. You can use bricks or aquatic plant stands to adjust the depth as the lily grows.

Yes, water lilies are heavy feeders. To maintain their free-flowering nature, insert aquatic fertilizer tablets into the soil around the roots once a month during the active growing season.

While they aren't a filtration system, their large, mottled pads provide shade for the water surface. This shade helps reduce direct sunlight, which can inhibit algae growth and keep the water cooler for fish.

These lilies thrive in full sun. Aim for at least 5 to 6 hours of direct sunlight daily to ensure consistent blooming and healthy foliage development.
