Snow Princess Hardy Water Lily – Micro White Variety

The Snow Princess Hardy Water Lily is one of the smallest hardy water lilies available, also known as a pygmy or micro hardy water lily. Its delicate white flowers measure only 1–2 inches across, while the pads stay between 1–4 inches wide. This miniature pond plant is perfect for small tubs, container gardens, and compact water features where larger varieties won’t fit.

The Snow Princess Hardy Water Lily thrives in shallow water and full sunlight, producing charming white blooms throughout the summer. It is a reliable choice for gardeners who want the elegance of a hardy water lily in a smaller space.

Snow Princess Hardy Water Lily Proper Planting and Care

• Snow Princess Hardy Water Lily Planting Depth: 3–12 inches from the water’s surface for best blooms

• Snow Princess Hardy Water Lily Container Size: 6–12 inch wide pot; larger pots allow more flowers and rhizomes

• Soil Type: Heavy loam soil from your yard (never bagged soil with compost, which floats and decays)

• Sun Requirements: Full, unobstructed sun all day — do not allow other pond plants to shade this delicate variety

Snow Princess Hardy Water Lily Fertilizing Schedule

• Fertilize on the 1st and 15th of each month throughout the growing season

• Use 2–3 Waterlily World Fertilizer Tablets per feeding

• Push tablets into the soil near the rhizome for best nutrient absorption

Do’s and Don’ts for Snow Princess Hardy Water Lily

• ✅ Plant in full sun for continuous blooming

• ✅ Use only heavy loam soil and repot annually to prevent overcrowding

• ✅ Fertilize consistently during the growing season for healthy flowers and leaves

• ❌ Do not cover the rhizome with stones or gravel — this causes rot and plant loss

• ❌ Do not use bagged potting soils or compost blends

• ❌ Do not crowd the Snow Princess Hardy Water Lily with taller plants that block sunlight

• ❌ Do not let the Snow Princess Hardy Water Lily dry out when opening your package. All parts of the plant — stems, roots, and leaves — must stay wet. Water lilies lose moisture quickly and must be potted immediately on arrival and set in the pond. No acclimation is necessary, but drying out even briefly can kill the plant.

• ❌ Do not let Snow Princess Hardy Water Lilies be covered over or crowded by other plants. Planting too close together or letting floating plants invade will block light and space, preventing healthy growth and blooms.
