Belledeva Hardy Water Lily

Yes, this is a hardy perennial variety. As long as the tuber is planted deep enough in your pond to avoid freezing solid, it will go dormant in the winter and return when the water warms up in the spring.

Absolutely. While it thrives in larger ponds, this water lily is perfectly suited for container water gardens. Just ensure your container is deep enough to accommodate the root system and that it receives full sun.

To produce its signature vibrant yellow flowers, this plant requires full sun, which means at least six hours of direct sunlight per day. If placed in a shaded area, you will likely see lush foliage but significantly fewer blooms.

You should plant the tuber in a dedicated aquatic planting basket filled with heavy clay-based soil or specialized aquatic potting media. Place the tuber horizontally just below the soil surface, leaving the growing tip exposed, and top the soil with a layer of gravel to keep it in place.

Water lilies are heavy feeders. For the best results and consistent flowering throughout the season, we recommend using aquatic fertilizer tablets pushed into the soil around the roots once a month during the active growing season.
