Description
Fire Crest Water Lily Overview
The Fire Crest water lily (sometimes spelled “Firecrest”) is prized for its bold color and elevated blooms. Its outer layer of vibrant pink petals spreads widely, resembling the delicate falls of an iris. Striking fiery stamens add dramatic contrast, making this variety a focal point in any aquatic setting.
Unique Elevated Blooms
Unlike many water lilies, Fire Crest grows well above the water’s surface, allowing the petals and stamens to be visible from afar. This elevated growth makes the flowers a standout in ponds, water gardens, and even small lakes.
Ideal for Water Gardens and Ponds
Fire Crest thrives in full sunlight and adapts well to a variety of pond conditions. The green floating pads provide contrast to the bright blooms while offering shade and shelter for fish. Its compact but striking growth habit makes it perfect as a centerpiece or accent plant.
Blooming Season and Care
This hardy water lily blooms repeatedly during the growing season. Flowers open fully during the day and close at night. It is easy to grow and maintain, making it suitable for both beginner and experienced pond owners.
Placement and Display Tips
Plant Fire Crest in small or large ponds, tubs, or decorative water gardens. Pair it with cooler-colored lilies to highlight its fiery petals. Its elevated blooms, vivid pink color, and dramatic stamens ensure your pond becomes a visual centerpiece.

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.
