Razzberry Hardy Waterlily Proper Planting and Care

• Planting Depth: 6–18 inches from soil surface to water surface

• Container Size: Minimum 14–16 inch wide fabric aquatic pot for best growth; also thrives in natural, earth-bottom ponds

• Soil: Use heavy loam topsoil from your yard (avoid bagged mixes high in compost or peat, which float and rot in water)

• Sunlight Needs: At least 6+ hours of strong, direct sunlight, including midday sun, for continual blooms

• Spacing: Allow 3–5 feet of surface spread for pads and flowers to develop fully

Razzberry Hardy Waterlily Fertilizing Schedule

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

• Use 4–6 Waterlily World Fertilizer Tablets, pressed 3–4 inches into the soil near the rhizome.

• Consistent feeding ensures strong pads and steady waves of flowers all season long.

Do’s and Don’ts for Razzberry Hardy Waterlily

✅ Do:

• Plant in full, unobstructed sun for the deepest flower color and heaviest blooming.

• Use large, wide containers with loam soil if not planting directly in an earth-bottom pond.

• Divide the rhizome every 1–2 years to prevent overcrowding and encourage continual flowers.

• Keep water calm and free of fountains or splashing near the pads, as still water is best for lilies.

❌ Don’t:

• Do not let the waterlily dry out when unpacking — rhizomes, roots, and pads must stay wet. Plant immediately on arrival.

• Do not place stones or gravel over the crown; this suffocates the plant and limits growth.

• Do not overcrowd — each lily needs adequate sun-exposed surface space. Floating plants or other lilies shading Razzberry will reduce its flowering potential.

• Do not plant too deep; lilies bloom best when kept shallower within their recommended depth range.
