Water lilies for ponds and water gardens - Aquatic Plants and Water Plants
Water Lilies are a fantastic addition to any pond, two types tropical and hardier cool climate varieties. Use an ordinary garden topsoil to pot water lilies, potting mix can be to light. Trim back the roots and remove dead leaves before planting. River pebbles placed on top of the soil can help keep the soil in place. With giant and miniature water lilies available you will be sure to find a suitable water lily for your pond.
Water lilies come from two families Nymphaeaceae and Nelumbonaceae or Lotus. Nymphaea alba is a white waterlily for cooler climates, Nymphaea 'Aussie Blue' is a blue lily suitable for tropical climates. Nelumbo nucifera is the sacred lotus of Hinduism and also Buddhism (also national flower of India)
Plant water lilies at 35 - 45cm deep with at least 1sq m of surface area for each plant. Fertilize plants regularly with a slow release fertilizer. Remember that water lilies need sun to flower properly, 6 - 8 hours a day. Water lilies flower in warmer months, a spell of cold weather during early summer can hinder flowering.
