Tropical Lilies Wrapped Canvas Prints
There are two main types of water lilies that we can select for our ponds, tropical and hardies. Tropical water lilies come in a wide spectrum of colors, purple, blue, red, pink, peach, orange, white and yellow or a mixture of some or all the colors. Mainly all tropical water lilies are medium and large varieties but one can grow almost any tropical in a one-gallon container to keep it small, and if fertilized properly, the plant will bloom well. All tropical water lily flowers come up well above the water surface while the leaves rest on the water surface. Tropical water lilies are classified as being day blooming, night blooming, viviparous or non viviparous. Be careful when deciding on the tropical water lily of choice and make sure to take in consideration day or night blooming water plants. We have put a brief description by each water lily, stating the size, spread and proper water depth, plus whether it is night blooming, day blooming. Tropical water lilies are true to their name, they do not do well in the winter in very cold climates. If a pond freezes and stays frozen all day, then it is probably too cold to over winter them outside. But tropical will grow perfectly fine just about anywhere once temperatures get warm and warm meaning water temperatures above 65 degrees at night and days above 80. Water lilies as a whole like to have direct sunlight but if outside temperatures get up into the high 90, then water lilies will prefer to be in the shade. Almost all will tolerate 50% of shade even with average temperature growing conditions which is 65 to 95 degrees. Tropical water lilies will outperform hardy water lilies by blooming, growing and staying up twice as much and long compared to hardy water lilies.
