Description

The Albert Greenburg water lily is a hardy variety valued for its warm color and reliable blooms. Pond owners appreciate this plant for its steady performance and refined appearance. It works well in ornamental ponds and natural water gardens.

The flowers display a soft rosy yellow base with accents of pink, orange, and gold. Each bloom forms layered petals that add depth and texture. The blossoms rise above the water’s surface, which makes them easy to see from a distance. This elevated habit creates a strong visual focal point.

Once established, this water lily blooms often throughout the season. Adequate sunlight and proper feeding encourage repeat flowering. The plant produces consistent color during the warmer months. These blooms also attract pollinators to the pond area.

The foliage supports the flowers with broad, rounded green pads. These pads spread across the surface and provide natural shade. Shaded water stays cooler and more balanced. The pads also offer shelter for fish and other aquatic life.

The Albert Greenburg water lily grows best in full sun. It adapts well to medium and large ponds. Proper planting depth helps the plant establish quickly. Once rooted, it requires minimal maintenance.

As a hardy water lily, this variety tolerates cooler temperatures. It overwinters successfully when placed below the freeze line. Pond keepers in many regions rely on its durability year after year.

This water lily suits both new and experienced pond owners. Its dependable growth habit makes care simple. The long blooming period adds lasting interest. The blend of warm colors complements many pond designs. Planted alone or with other aquatics, it delivers consistent beauty across the season.

The table below shows the estimated shipping and pick-up weeks for destinations to USA states. These dates can change depending on weather and how strong the plants are at that time.

For example, a wet spring will have many clouds leading to less sunshine. Thus, the plants may need a bit longer to grow strong enough for transplanting and transit. With the planet heating up, a warm spring may help the plants grow strong enough to ship before the dates in this table.
