Viviparous Annual Water Lilies

Viviparous Annual water lilies have more of a tenancy to survive cool water for short periods of time, possibly zone 9 in the south and coastal southern California. These lilies have micrantha species in their genetics and can often but not always be propagated by growing new plants off the leaves if you grow them large enough. To note many star lilies including those created in the last 30 years by Ken Landon are also quite cold tolerant but are not viviparous by leaf. These viviparous lilies listed we often have out of the April to July Pond season!
