Sasimon Tropical Water Lily
The Sasimon Water Lily is a stunning new tropical variety admired for its high petal count and radiant golden-yellow blossoms. Each flower is richly layered with petals, giving it a full, luxurious form that glows above the water’s surface. Add to that a heavenly fragrance, and Sasimon quickly becomes a favorite centerpiece among tropical pond plants. Compact yet vigorous, this tropical water lily is a heavy bloomer that delivers flower after flower all summer long when planted in warm water with full sun.
Ideal for medium to large ponds, the Sasimon Water Lily pairs its bright blooms with solid green pads, creating a cheerful, sunlit contrast in the water garden. As one of our favorite new introductions, we’re thrilled to bring Sasimon to the U.S. market in larger numbers—this variety is destined to be a collector’s favorite for years to come.
