Sirius Water Lily
Named for the brightest star in the sky, this outstanding lily lives up to its name by producing large purplish-red flowers in profusion. The leaves are flecked maroon before maturing to all green. ‘Sirius’ is truly a classic in the water lily world, hybridized by Latour-Marliac Nursery in 1913. The purple-red flowers are 6-7 inches wide, the large leaves are 10-11 inches wide, and the overall plant spread is 5-6 feet wide. This water lily grows best in full to partial sun. We recommend growing ‘Sirius’ in a 7.5 quart or larger 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.
