Description

Pink Platter Water Lily – Vibrant Flat-Blooming Tropical Lily

Introduction: Stunning Pink Platter Water Lily

The Pink Platter Water Lily is a tropical hybrid prized for its vibrant, flat blossoms that showcase every petal. As its name suggests, the flower opens wide and flat, creating a striking display of color above the water. Its long, narrow petals reveal a lovely clear violet-pink hue, adding elegance to any pond or tub garden.

Flat, Vibrant Blooms

The Pink Platter Water Lily blooms freely throughout the growing season. Each flower rises gracefully above the water, showing off the wide, flat petals. Additionally, the vivid pink color contrasts beautifully with the lush green foliage, creating a layered, visually stunning pond display. Gardeners can enjoy the flowers as long-lasting cut blooms as well.

Ideal for Ponds and Containers

With moderate growth, the Pink Platter Water Lily adapts perfectly to tubs, small ponds, and container water gardens. Moreover, it thrives in full sun or partial shade, making it a versatile choice for a variety of water garden setups. Its long petals, continuous blooming habit, and manageable size make it a favorite for both beginners and experienced water gardeners.

Easy Care and Maintenance

The Pink Platter Water Lily requires standard tropical water lily care. By providing nutrient-rich water and removing spent flowers, gardeners encourage repeated blooms and maintain healthy growth. Its flat, vibrant blossoms, combined with elegant foliage, make this lily a reliable tropical water garden centerpiece.

Add the Pink Platter Water Lily to your pond or tub garden to enjoy vibrant, flat blooms, long-lasting flowers, and tropical elegance that brightens your water feature all season long.

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.
