All About Hardy Lillies


With blossoms that are uniquely varied, lilies are almost always the focal point of any pond. Extraordinary blossoms command attention and beautiful foliage contrasts with the waters surface as well as provides shade and cover for fish. HARDY Water Lilies should be planted 12" to 24" deep. Dwarf varieties do best when planted 6"to 18" deep in small ponds.
