AZ Gardens Sioux Water Lily

The Sioux variety is unique because its blooms shift color as they mature. Over the course of a few days, the flower transitions from a pale yellow to a soft peach, eventually deepening into a rich copper-red.

Being winter hardy means this lily is capable of surviving colder temperatures, provided the pond is deep enough to prevent the roots from freezing solid. In many climates, the plant will go dormant during the winter and naturally return in the spring.

Yes, they are versatile, but keep in mind that water lilies need adequate space for their root systems to thrive. Ensure your container is large enough to accommodate the rhizome and allows for at least a few inches of water coverage above the crown.

Since they arrive with leaves, you should place them in your pond as soon as possible to minimize stress. Ensure they are planted in an appropriate aquatic soil or container and positioned at the correct depth for their growth stage.

Yes, the Sioux water lily is known for its fragrant blooms. While the scent is pleasant and adds to the ambiance of a water feature, it is generally subtle rather than overpowering.
