Puttan Hardy Water Lily Proper Planting and Care

• Planting Depth: 6–24 inches from the water’s surface; shallower depths encourage more blooms

• Container Size: Allow at least 16 inches of rhizome spread in a 12–15 inch wide container for best flowering

• Soil Type: Use heavy loam topsoil only (never bagged compost, which floats and rots in water)

• Sunlight Needs: At least 7 hours of direct, unobstructed sunlight each day

• Spread: Medium-sized hardy water lily, adaptable for small, medium, or larger ponds

Puttan Hardy Water Lily Fertilizing Schedule

• Fertilize consistently from May through September

• Use 3–5 Waterlily World Fertilizer Tablets on the 1st and 15th of each month

• Push tablets 3–4 inches into the soil near the rhizome to ensure strong root and flower growth

• Consistent feeding ensures the Puttan Hardy Water Lily blooms all season
