"Fragrance And Fortune" is a new, Small-Medium, winter hardy waterlily.
The fragrance is more pronounced than other hardy lilies-- especially on the first day flowers.
The shade of yellow on Fragrance and Fortune is an incredibly unique, bright yellow with no peach shades in it whatsoever. It is much, much brighter than Joey Tomocik, the former most yellow, hardy water lily.
In ponds with a pond liner, grow in a 10—to 17-inch-wide pot using loam-sifted topsoil. Do not use soil from a bag containing compost, as it will rot and float.
The rhizome loves fertilizer tablets from spring until fall and must be divided once in spring and once in midsummer for maximum flowering.
Measure the depth from the mud at the top of the pot to the water's surface. The best is 5 to 10 inches beneath the surface of the water, but it can "tolerate" water up to 26 inches above the soil it is planted in. Plant in full sun for flowering.
Fertilizing Instructions
Fertilize with Waterlily World Fertilizer Tabs + Humates every 2-3 weeks through spring and summer for optimum growth and blooming!
Use 3 to 4 tablets for water lilies every two weeks; we suggest the 1st and 15th of each month for optimal and continuous flowering until fall! Remember, lilies also like full, direct, unobstructed sunlight as much of the day as possible and regular dividing at the root as needed. Any cramped pots will lessen the blooming of waterlilies. A 15" fabric aquatic growpot with handles is suggested for medium or large waterlily. The 7.5-inch pots are okay for up to 8 months of growth for smaller waterlilies.
PondGro Aquatic Soil is perfect for those who do not have access to plain, good topsoil for their waterlilies. We never suggest aquatic planting media, pea gravel, or other stones for pond plants. You will end up with lots of mortality and plants that never perform. Only plain sifted Topsoil should ever be used for waterlilies; it can have a heavy sand base or clay base but should not include organic compost, so never buy anything bagged as that always has compost added, which floats and rots.
Again, in-ground ponds with no liner prefer full sun. When planted, they are best anchored into the embankment soil just 6 to 10 inches below the waterline. Consider temporary fencing for 6 to 10 weeks when establishing in existing ponds with wildlife so that plants can get ahead of plant predators like raccoons, turtles, etc.
