Description
Timeless Beauty for Water Gardens
The American Beauty water lily brings timeless elegance to ponds and water gardens. Moreover, this classic hardy variety has remained popular for decades because of its refined form and dependable performance. As a result, gardeners often select it to create a romantic focal point that suits both formal and natural pond designs.
Striking Flowers and Color Contrast
The blossoms display a deep reddish-pink tone that resembles delicate garden roses. In addition, each bloom opens wide and reveals layered petals that create a full appearance. At the center, a bright lemon-chrome glow provides contrast and depth. Therefore, the flowers remain visually striking even from a distance. Meanwhile, the blooms float gracefully on the water’s surface, making them easy to admire.
Consistent Blooming Performance
Once established, this variety blooms consistently throughout the growing season. Furthermore, adequate sunlight and proper nutrition encourage repeat flowering. Consequently, the pond maintains steady color from late spring through early fall. As a result, this plant serves as a reliable choice for long-term visual interest.
Attractive Foliage and Pond Benefits
The foliage supports the flowers with rounded green pads. Additionally, these pads spread evenly across the pond surface. Therefore, they provide natural shade that helps regulate water temperature. Moreover, the coverage offers shelter for fish and contributes to a balanced aquatic environment.
Growing Conditions and Care
This hardy water lily grows best in full sun. However, it also adapts well to a range of pond conditions. When planted at the proper depth, it requires minimal maintenance. In addition, routine fertilization supports healthy growth and vibrant blooms.
Hardy Nature and Reliability
As a hardy variety, it overwinters successfully in many climates. Therefore, pond keepers value it for its durability and ease of care. Ultimately, this plant offers lasting beauty without demanding high maintenance.

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.
