Wanvisa Nymphaea Water Lily

The Wanvisa is known for its dynamic blooms, which start as a deep, rich autumn color and gradually shift to a vibrant orange-pink as they mature. Because each flower can be at a different stage of development, you will often see multiple shades on the same plant simultaneously.

Bare-root means the plants are shipped without soil or a pot, which is standard for aquatic plants to ensure they travel safely. Upon arrival, you will need to plant them directly into an aquatic basket or pond container using heavy clay soil and top it with gravel to keep the roots secure.

Yes, as a winter-hardy variety, the Wanvisa is designed to survive in outdoor ponds throughout the winter, provided the roots are kept below the ice line. If you live in an area with extremely harsh winters, ensure your pond is deep enough to prevent the tubers from freezing solid.

The distinctive brown-mottled foliage is a genetic trait of the Wanvisa and will be present as the plant grows. While the initial leaves may be smaller as the plant establishes itself, the characteristic speckling will become more pronounced as the lily matures in your pond.

Water lilies are vigorous growers, so it is best to give each plant at least 3 to 5 feet of surface space. Planting them too close together can lead to overcrowding, which may reduce the number of blooms and restrict the plant's ability to provide shade for the pond.
