Water Lily

Bring serene beauty and timeless elegance to your outdoor or semi-outdoor space with the Water Lily, a classic perennial aquatic flowering plant admired for its floating leaves and graceful blooms resting gently on the water’s surface.

Unlike lotus plants, Water Lilies are floating-leaf aquatic plants, with foliage spreading across the water while flowers bloom low and close to the surface. This natural growth habit makes them ideal for containers, water pots, or small ponds—creating a calm, garden-like atmosphere even in compact urban spaces.

Widely loved in Asian and tropical gardens, Water Lilies bloom generously through the warmer months, offering repeated waves of flowers that open for several days at a time. Whether placed on a sunny balcony, rooftop water pot, or courtyard pond, they instantly elevate the space with movement, reflection, and seasonal charm.

Maintenance
Remove old or yellowing leaves regularly to keep the water clean and promote new growth. Fertilize lightly during the growing season if needed using aquatic plant fertilizer tablets.
