Virginialis White Lily This is a strong grower that flowers profusely in full sun. Just remember that big lilies are heavy feeders.
You MUST fertilize sufficiently with pond tabs for best results. Use only non-burning fertilizer.
Young water lilies need a lot of sun. Clear shallow water provides the greatest amount of light.
Always start lilies as close to the surface as possible. A few inches under water is perfect.
Then as the pads spread widely, begin dropping the pot lower, keeping all pads on the water surface.
We grow ours with just enough water over the pots to allow the pads to always lay flat on the surface.
Try this, you will be very happy with the results.
