Prakaisad Hardy Water Lily – A Coral-Peach Blooming Powerhouse

The Prakaisad Hardy Water Lily is one of the heaviest blooming hardy water lilies available today. This medium-sized perennial water lily produces scrumptious, stellate blooms in shades of coral-peach to orange, perfectly paired with deep red mottled lily pads. The combination of flower and foliage makes the Prakaisad Hardy Water Lily a truly eye-catching addition to any pond or water garden.

A natural mutation of the famous Colorado Hardy Water Lily, the Prakaisad Hardy Water Lily takes blooming performance to the next level. Expect non-stop flowers throughout the summer season, making it one of the best choices for gardeners who want constant color and reliable performance from their pond plants.

Prakaisad Hardy Water Lily Proper Planting and Care

• Planting Depth: 6–16 inches from the top of the pot to the water’s surface for maximum blooming. Can tolerate deeper water, up to 24–30 inches, though with fewer flowers.

• Container Size: 12–15 inch wide fabric or plastic container; also suitable for earth-bottom ponds.

• Soil: Plant in heavy loam topsoil only; avoid bagged mixes high in compost, which float and decay in water.

• Sunlight Needs: Minimum of 6 hours of direct, unobstructed sunlight each day.

• Plant Size: Medium spread; perfect for small, medium, and larger water gardens.

Prakaisad Hardy Water Lily Fertilizing Schedule

• Fertilize on the 1st and 15th of each month throughout the growing season (April–September).

• Insert 3–4 Waterlily World Fertilizer Tablets into the soil, 3–4 inches from the crown of the rhizome.

• Consistent feeding ensures prolific blooms all summer long.

Do’s and Don’ts for Prakaisad Hardy Water Lily

Do’s
✅ Plant the Prakaisad Hardy Water Lily in full sun for the best flowering performance.
✅ Use wide, shallow containers with heavy loam soil for strong root development.
✅ Fertilize consistently during the growing season to ensure continual blooming.
✅ Divide rhizomes annually or when crowded to keep the plant vigorous and productive.

Don’ts
❌ Do not use bagged soil mixes, compost, or aquatic planting media — these float and rot in water.
❌ Do not cover the growing crown with stones or gravel — this suffocates the plant and prevents proper growth.
❌ Do not let the Prakaisad Hardy Water Lily dry out during unpacking; stems, roots, and crowns must remain wet and be planted immediately.
❌ Do not allow floating plants (like water lettuce or duckweed) to cover or shade your hardy water lily. They need open surface space for pads to gather sunlight and produce flowers.
❌ Do not overcrowd multiple hardy water lilies in the same small space. Each crown must have open water around it so pads can spread and collect sunlight. Overcrowding reduces flowering and weakens plants.
