Description
Virginalis Hardy Water Lily – Classic Pond Centerpiece
The Virginalis hardy water lily is a historic and elegant aquatic plant that has delighted gardeners since the late 1800s. Its pure white flowers with golden yellow stamens float gracefully on the pond surface, making it a timeless choice for water gardens of all sizes.
Elegant White Blooms and Fragrance
This lily produces large, fragrant white blooms that open during the summer. The yellow stamens provide a bright contrast, drawing the eye to each flower. These blossoms sit above solid green pads, creating a visually balanced display that enhances any pond or water feature.
Lush Green Foliage and Pond Benefits
The lily’s broad, emerald green pads form a canopy across the pond’s surface. They provide shade to help reduce algae growth and offer shelter for fish. The foliage’s vibrant color complements the flowers perfectly, ensuring the pond remains attractive throughout the growing season.
Reliable Growth and Seasonal Performance
As a hardy perennial, the Virginalis lily goes dormant during winter and returns reliably in spring. Its dependable growth and consistent flowering make it an excellent choice for both novice and experienced water gardeners. The lily thrives in small to medium ponds with full sun and minimal maintenance, providing season-long beauty year after year.
Enhance Your Garden Pond Design
Pair this lily with floating or marginal plants to create a layered, visually appealing water garden. Its white blooms, yellow stamens, and lush pads make it a versatile and enduring addition. Whether used as a centerpiece or along the pond edges, the Virginalis hardy water lily adds elegance, charm, and historical significance to any garden pond.

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.
