Citrus Twist Hardy Waterlily – Blush Pink Beauty with a Twist of Sunshine

The Citrus Twist Hardy Waterlily is a delightful medium-sized perennial water lily that rewards pond owners with profuse blooms all season long. Its blush-pink petals are kissed with hints of pale peach, glowing softly around a vibrant yellow-gold center. Paired with lightly mottled pads, this hardy water lily adds elegance and sparkle to any pond setting.

Compact yet floriferous, Citrus Twist Hardy Waterlily thrives in containers as small as 12 inches wide, making it an ideal choice for both small water gardens and medium ponds. Its strong fragrance and reliable blooming habit make it a customer favorite pond plant year after year.

🌿 Citrus Twist Hardy Waterlily Proper Planting and Care

• Planting Depth: 6–20 inches from soil level to water’s surface

• Container Size: Minimum 12–14 inches wide (larger pots encourage more flowers)

• Soil: Use heavy loam topsoil (never bagged mixes, compost, or gravel)

• Sunlight: Full sun, with at least 6 hours of direct, strong midday light daily

• Division: Divide annually or as needed to prevent overcrowding and maintain blooming strength

🌱 Citrus Twist Hardy Waterlily Fertilizing Schedule

• Fertilize on the 1st and 15th of each month during the growing season (spring–fall).

• Use 3–4 Waterlily World Fertilizer Tabs per feeding, pressing them 3–4 inches deep into the soil near the rhizome.

• Consistent feeding ensures steady flowering and healthy foliage.

✅ Do’s and Don’ts for Citrus Twist Hardy Waterlily

Do:

• ✅ Plant in full sun for reliable blooms.

• ✅ Use loam soil and a wide container for healthy rhizome growth.

• ✅ Fertilize regularly during the growing season for maximum flowering.

• ✅ Allow room for pads to spread across the water’s surface.

Don’t:

• ❌ Do not let the waterlily dry out when unpacking—plant immediately on arrival.

• ❌ Do not use bagged compost soils, pea gravel, or stones—they float, rot, and starve the plant.

• ❌ Do not overcrowd. Floating plants or neighboring lilies will block sunlight and reduce blooms.

• ❌ Do not plant too deep—deeper than 20 inches reduces flowering.
