Hassabudin Tropical Water Lily

The Hassabudin Water Lily is a magnificent new tropical variety admired for its large, multi-petaled pink-peach blossoms. Each flower glows with warm tones and rises above lush green leaves, making Hassabudin a true showstopper in medium to large ponds. A very heavy bloomer, this lily thrives with generous feeding, producing big, beautiful flowers from spring until early October in most of the U.S.—and even longer in the Deep South.

With its vigorous growth and bold color, the Hassabudin Tropical Water Lily is perfect for gardeners seeking a statement plant with both size and performance. Depending on how it’s grown, this variety can produce leaves between 4 and 12 inches wide and achieve a spread of up to 12 feet across, ensuring it remains a prominent feature.
