Description

William Stone Water Lily – Unique Sky-Blue Blooms

The William Stone water lily is a striking aquatic plant known for its sky-blue flowers with a hint of violet. Its star-shaped blooms open early in the morning and remain open until late afternoon. This timing makes it a beautiful addition to ponds, offering color and visual interest throughout the day.

Tall, Elegant Flowers

This water lily produces aromatic flowers that rise well above the water, making it one of the tallest varieties available. The blossoms stand out against the pond’s surface, creating a dramatic and eye-catching display. Additionally, the sepals bend gracefully downward, enhancing the overall artistic appeal of the plant.

Unique Star-Shaped Blooms

The star-shaped flowers of the William Stone water lily are unlike most other lilies. Their distinct shape and subtle violet tint make them a standout in any water garden. Planted alongside other aquatic plants, this lily adds texture, color contrast, and height variation, which enriches the visual composition of your pond.

Easy to Incorporate into Water Gardens

The William Stone water lily thrives in full sun and prefers shallow to medium-deep pond areas. It establishes quickly and requires minimal maintenance once planted. Its tall blooms and aromatic flowers create a lively, sensory-rich pond experience that appeals to both novice and experienced gardeners.

Add Height and Beauty to Your Pond

Whether you have a small pool or a larger water feature, the William Stone water lily enhances the water garden’s elegance. Its unique star-shaped flowers, tall stems, and aromatic blooms provide a decorative focal point. Furthermore, its artistic sepals and vibrant colors make it a memorable addition to any pond design.

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.
