Tropical Water Lilies are spectacular pond plants that can be grown outside in your water garden
in all zones as long as the weather is warm enough. Tropical water lilies like the temperature to be
at least 70 degrees. If you live in areas that freeze, you can winter your tropical water lilies
inside and bring them out again in the spring. Tropical water lilies are very free flowering and for
the most part, very fragrant. Tropical water lilies come in shades of white, yellow, pink, red, blue
and purple. Tropical water lilies come in both day blooming and night blooming varieties. Depth
should be maintained between 6" to 18" when first transplanted and then once established can be
grown from 12" to 30" deep depending on the variety.
