Nymphaea, Tropical Water Lily, Waterlily 'Panama Pacific'

I have had this variety growing for over 3 years now in our pond. I keep plants of it going year-to-year by taking a bunch of the vivipar...Read Moreous plantlets (a small plant that forms in the center of a lily pad/leaf) and keeping them on a sunny windowsill in plastic cups with aquatic soil and water a couple of inches deep over the winter. Nice to not have to buy new plants every year!

This is an easy-to-grow variety, with impressive color (purple-blue), nice fragrance, pretty leaves, and the ability to adjust to the size of the container it is grown in. From mid-August on, it is pretty prolific in its setting of viviparous plantlets, and last year it bloomed right through the end of September. I have had 4 blooms open at one time, but I do feed aquatic plant food tablets on a fairly regular basis.

Highly recommended variety! Provides a nice contrast to the hardy varieties which do not come in blues or purples. Plant out deep enough to escape deer browsing, if that is a problem in your area. (I sometimes place a sturdy, empty tub upside down, then put the tub with the lily in it on top of that so the plant isn't in too deep, but the deer are deterred).
