Water Lily Sizes

Water lilies can grow in a very wide range of depths depending on variety. From only 10cm of water to 180cm of water above the plant/ top of mesh basket. Generally, water lilies growing in the deeper water will have large pads & flowers compared to the delicate miniatures having flowers the size of a thumb nail growing in shallow tubs/ ponds.

Every size & depth within the two extremes is available in every colour to cater for every customer requirement. It is important to plant the correct size varieties of water lily - too large & the pool can become overgrown with leaves crowding above the surface of the water. Too small & leaves struggle to reach the surface resulting in a weak/ poor display.

Please contact via enquiries stating LILY MATCH if you would like recommendations on varieties - include depth, pond surface area & colour preference to help match more effectively.

Growing Conditions

Water lilies prefer still water in full sun but are tolerant of semi-shade & some water movement.

Avoid placing water lilies directly under flow of waterfalls or with fountains constantly splashing onto the leaves. A small amount of water movement & splashing will not cause problems.

Ensure water lilies are planted at recommended depths for the variety.

PCN stocks 85 varieties of fully hardy water lilies in 5 colours - white, pink, red, yellow & peach in a wide variety of flower shapes, shades of colour & scents.
