WARINDA Hardy Water Lily — Extra-Large Fuchsia Pink for Big Ponds
WARINDA is an extra-large hardy water lily with giant bright fuchsia-pink flowers designed for impact. If you have an earth-bottom pond and want a perennial water lily that comes back every year right where you planted it—and can be seen blooming from far away—WARINDA is built for that job. It’s also excellent in very large, wide containers in lined ponds when fertilized consistently.

Water Lily Planting Tips
-
Plant shallower (6–12") at first for faster warm-up and more buds
-
Give WARINDA open surface space—pads are “solar panels” for blooms
-
Keep the crown slightly exposed above the soil line (never bury it)
-
Still water shows blooms best; avoid heavy splashing directly over pads
Do’s & Don’ts
Do
-
Plant WARINDA in full sun and heavy loam
-
Use a 20"+ wide pot if not planting in an earth-bottom pond
-
Fertilize twice monthly (or 6–8 tabs/month) for endless blooming
-
Divide annually to prevent crowding and keep flowers coming
Don’t
-
❌ Don’t use compost/peat mixes, “aquatic media,” or gravel (they float/rot/smother crowns)
-
❌ Don’t let floating plants shade the pads—shade = fewer flowers
-
❌ Don’t plant too deep early; establish first at 6–24" for best growth and bloom

Shipped as: a live young adult plant (rhizome with leaves/lilypads). Plant immediately in heavy loam soil at the recommended depth. Minor leaf yellowing from transit is normal and quickly replaced by new growth.
Quick accuracy check (so I don’t guess): What are your observed flower size (inches) and typical mature spread for WARINDA? If you share those two numbers, I’ll tighten the “quick reference” section perfectly.
