Coral Sky Tropical Water Lily

The Coral Sky Water Lily is a radiant tropical day-bloomer that produces brilliant, bright-pink blossoms all summer long. Each flower measures about 6 inches across and rises proudly above the water’s surface, glowing with warmth against lush, mottled green pads. A prolific and heavy bloomer, Coral Sky adds vibrant color and tropical elegance to any water garden, from decorative backyard ponds to larger pondscapes.

This variety performs beautifully in warm climates and is equally reliable in northern gardens when treated as an annual. With proper fertilization and full sun, the Coral Sky Tropical Water Lily will reward you with nonstop blooms all season—making it a must-have among tropical pond plants.

📦 Seasonal Shipping Information for Tropical Water Lilies

Tropical water lilies are often ready a few weeks later than other pond plants in spring. They typically ship between May and August/September when conditions are warm enough for healthy growth.

• If your order includes a tropical water lily, the entire order will be held until the tropical is available.

• If you want to receive other pond plants sooner, please place two separate orders.

• In northern regions, tropical water lilies are generally ready just as it becomes safe to ship pond plants to your area.

💡 PondMegastore Tip: Keep Coral Sky in full sun with warm water and fertilize regularly to enjoy its nonstop, bold-pink blooms from summer until frost.
