Pink Dream Hardy Water Lily – Bi-Color Splendor
The Pink Dream Hardy Water Lily is a brand-new introduction from Pond Megastore, and it’s quickly becoming one of the most exciting perennial pond plants available. This hardy water lily features 5–6 inch bi-color pink and white blossoms with a heavenly fragrance. Each bloom stands elegantly above the water, and unlike many other bi-color varieties, Pink Dream produces streaked or split-color flowers almost every time — not just occasionally.
Compared to Wanvisa, which only produces a split flower once in 25–35 blooms and tends to be a poor bloomer, the Pink Dream Hardy Water Lily delivers vivid, streaked blooms heavily and consistently all summer long. This makes it a perfect choice for water gardeners who want both reliability and spectacle.
Pink Dream Hardy Water Lily Proper Planting and Care
-
Planting Depth: 7–14 inches below the waterline for best flowering; can be grown up to 24 inches deep with reduced blooms

Container Size: A wide 15-inch fabric pot with handles is ideal for root development and stability
-
Soil: Heavy loam topsoil (never bagged soil or compost mixes, which float and decay)
-

Do’s and Don’ts for Pink Dream Hardy Water Lily
-
✅ Plant the Pink Dream Hardy Water Lily in full sun for best performance
-
✅ Use heavy loam soil, either from your garden or PondGro Aquatic Loam Soil
-
✅ Repot or divide annually in spring to prevent overcrowding and maintain healthy blooming
-
✅ Fertilize twice a month throughout the growing season for continuous flowers
-
❌ Do not cover the rhizome with stones or gravel; this suffocates the plant and causes rot
-
❌ Do not use bagged soils or compost; these float, rot, and reduce water quality
-
❌ Do not allow the Pink Dream Hardy Water Lily to be crowded or shaded by floating plants or nearby lilies
-
❌ Do not let the Pink Dream Hardy Water Lily dry out when unpacking. All parts of the plant — roots, stems, and leaves — must remain moist. Pot immediately on arrival and place into the pond without delay.
-
❌ Do not plant Pink Dream Hardy Water Lily too close to other lilies. Competition for light and space reduces growth and blooming.
