Description

Preferred Growing Conditions

Full to partial shade.
USDA Zone 4.
'Gloriosa' prefers standing water with no fountains or currents. That is why you don't see water lilies in rivers, streams, or creeks.
Do not use soil with herbicies or pesticides. Avoid potting soil or other mixes that have floating components such as sticks.
You can start at a depth close to the surface for stronger sun rays and warmer temperatures. Then, move the container deeper as it grows and gets established. Keep the planter below the winter freezing line.
Cutting flowers for decorative purposes indoors may stimulate continued growth in the pond.

This table 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.
