Wanvisa Hardy Waterlily
The Wanvisa Hardy Waterlily is one of the most unusual and eye-catching hardy water lilies you can add to your pond. Brought to market by Dr. Nopchai Chansilpa, Wanvisa has become a favorite among collectors and gardeners alike. Its flowers combine delightful tones of peach, apricot, pink, and yellow, often streaked with unexpected striations or patches of golden-yellow. Sometimes you may even see a flower split in half with different colors—making every bloom a surprise.
This hardy water lily stands above the water’s surface, creating a dramatic effect. While Wanvisa can be a slightly shy bloomer compared to other varieties, each flower is truly magnificent when it opens.
The pads are just as interesting as the flowers—new leaves emerge in reddish-brown with striking green speckles before maturing into green with red markings. With a 3–5 foot spread, Wanvisa fits beautifully in medium to large ponds.
Wanvisa Hardy Waterlily Planting and Care
-
Planting Depth: 6–18 inches from soil to water’s surface
-
Container Size: 14–20 inches wide (fabric pond pots are best)
-
Soil: Heavy loam soil only (avoid bagged potting mixes that float and rot)
-
Sunlight: 6+ hours of direct sunlight daily for best blooming
-
Fertilizer: 4–6 Waterlily World Fertilizer Tablets on the 1st and 15th of each month during the growing season
Tip: If growing in an earth-bottom pond, plant Wanvisa in shallow edges of the pond where it receives unobstructed sun.
Do’s and Don’ts for Wanvisa Hardy Waterlily
✅ Do fertilize consistently during the growing season for repeat blooms
✅ Do divide rhizomes every 1–2 years to maintain strong growth
✅ Do plant Wanvisa Hardy Waterlily in full sun with plenty of space for flowering
❌ Don’t use stones or gravel on top of the rhizome, as it suffocates the plant
❌ Don’t allow floating pond plants or other water lilies to crowd Wanvisa, as the pads need to float freely for maximum blooms
❌ Don’t let the plant dry out during shipping or unpacking — hardy water lilies lose moisture quickly and must be planted immediately on arrival
