Growing both the hardy and tropical water lilies can result in a full summer of beautiful water lily blooms.
Many hardy hybrids are very beautiful and produce a wonderful amount of flowers during the year. The flowers of the hardy variety typically float on the water's surface and prepare for winter by growing a tuber and reduce its blooms as fall approaches. The tropical water lilies will typically produce a multitude of flowers all summer that stand high above the water surface. Hardy varieties require more sunlight and typically require full (not shaded) sunlight.īlooming Characteristics If you want more flowers, then tropical water lilies produce more blooms than the hardies. All of these varieties you will find in Tricker's on line store! Not only do the mentioned tropical water lilies require less daily light, but they also are known for growing and blooming long into the fall or autumn when all other water lilies are going dormant. We have developed some varieties that can still bloom and grow with reduced light such as the tropical water lilies Patricia, Independence', ' Janice', ' Blue Bird', ' Panama Pacific' and other hybridizers such as ' August Koch', and ' Dauben'. Sunlight Requirements Most water lilies require at least 4-6 hours of sunlight per day. These are often selected for tub gardening or for that special place in your water garden pool that needs a smaller spreading and flowering water lily. There are special "pygmy" water lilies that can spread less than 2-3 feet or less when planted in smaller containers but the special characteristic of blooming and growing is still maintained. Typically, for most water lilies, the smaller the planting container the more restrictive the size. In an extra large crate, your water lilies may spread farther. In large crates, most water lilies will grow to 2-3 foot spreads. The spread that your water lily plant will reach depends on many factors such as crate size, how packed they are, and frequency of fertilization. Spreads The size of your pond surface will help to determine what type and how many water lilies to grow.
In 1892, the first William Tricker mail-order catalog was mailed to customers across the nation, and we still do, today. His water lily nursery and company, in both Ohio and Pennsylvania, was passed down tthrough his family until the 1980's when Richard Lee purchased the Ohio company. In the early 1890's, he earned a reputation as a leader in aquatic lifeforms from hybridiing many water lilies. The shape, colors and hardiness of his beautiful aquatic plants have withstood the test of time. William Tricker (born 1853) started his commercial water lily culture in the United States in the late 1800's when he started hybridizing water lilies and studied what helps their growth.
