Virginalis Water Lily
This very reliable water lily is one of the most prolific varieties available, and its smaller size makes it a perfect choice for anything from a container garden to a small or medium-sized pond. Many growers feel this is the finest white hardy lily due to its freedom of bloom and always-dependable performance. The white flowers are 4-6 inches wide, the leaves are 8-9 inches wide, and the overall plant spread is 3-4 feet wide. This plant grows best in full to partial sun. We recommend growing ‘Virginalis’ in a 7.5 quart container (available from naturehills.com). Also available from naturehills.com is Aquatic Planting Media and Lilytabs Water Lily Fertilizer. Cannot be shipped to: CA, MT, OR, WA or WY. Please watch the video below to see exactly what happens after you place your order with us, including how we harvest the water lilies. Also contained in the video is how you should plant and care for you water lily once you receive it.
