These lilies, originally native to diverse regions across the globe, have been selectively bred to offer a wide array of colors, sizes, and bloom times, allowing gardeners to enjoy their beauty across various climates.

Ideal Growing Conditions for Your Amethyst Dream:

To ensure your Amethyst Dream thrives, provide it with the following:

• Sunlight: At least 6 hours of direct sunlight per day is essential for abundant blooming. A south-facing location is ideal.
• Water Depth: Plant the rhizome (root) in a container at a depth of 12-18 inches of water. Ensure the water remains relatively still, avoiding strong currents.
• Water Temperature: Maintain a water temperature between 70-80°F (21-27°C) for optimal growth.
• Water Quality: Clean, clear water is crucial. Regularly monitor water levels and replenish as needed, particularly during hot weather.
• Soil: Use a rich aquatic potting mix specifically formulated for water lilies; avoid using garden soil.

Special Treatment and Care:

• Fertilization: Feed your Amethyst Dream regularly during the growing season (spring and summer) using a slow-release aquatic plant fertilizer. This will promote lush growth and vibrant blooms.
• Wintering: In colder climates, the Amethyst Dream may require overwintering. You can either keep the pot in a cool, dark location indoors (above freezing temperatures) or leave the pot in the pond and protect the rhizome from frost by covering the pot with mulch or other insulation.
• Pest and Disease Control: Regularly inspect your water lily for signs of pests or diseases. Treat promptly using appropriate organic or chemical controls, following label instructions carefully.

The Amethyst Dream Water Lily is not just a plant; it's an experience. Its captivating blooms will transform your pond into a serene oasis, offering a daily dose of tranquility and beauty. Order yours today and bring the magic of the Amethyst Dream to your garden.
