(DETAILED INFO)
-------------------------------------------------------------
The Nymphaea 'Violicious' has a saturated deep lavender purple flower & when established it can create a high blue flower as well. This beautiful plant was created by the famous waterlily hybridizer Mike Giles & is the first successfully crossed tropical water lily to winter hardy water lily. You get the best of both worlds with this water lily, the beautiful tropical colors & cold temp hardiness.

I've had lilies such as this beauty for over 20+ years & will for many more to come. They are very easy growers for me & to plant them, use shipping your pot & fill with a heavier clay type dirt (the heavier the better; you don't want floating). Plant the tuber in said dirt & cover with an inch layer of sand (this will hold the dirt down). Then allow the top growth of the tuber to come up above the sand a little. If you have koi or goldfish in a pond, maybe zip tie the tuber to a rock inside the pot so they can't dig it up. Slowly submerge in the pond or larger container and sink it at least a foot and up to 3 foot below the surface of the water if you have a deeper pond.

During the growing months, fertilize each month with a few aquatic fertilizer tabs pushed down in the soil. The lily will grow fast & will become root bound in the pot in 1 to 2 years (You will repot when this happens; best done when pads are growing in early spring). Repot with 1 to 2 tubers; this will give plenty of room for new growth. If you have any issues or have a question, send me a message.
