Buy Water Lily Plants Online: Tropical, Hardy and Australian Varieties

Water lilies are rooted aquatic plants that grow in still water, producing floating leaves and colourful blooms. Perfect for home garden ponds across India, they also support a healthy pond ecosystem by providing shade and reducing algae growth.

At Plant Store, explore Hardy, Tropical, and Australian Water Lilies, each with distinct colours, sizes, and care needs.

Types of Water Lilies in Our Collection

Hardy Water Lilies

Popular for their cold tolerance and easy maintenance, hardy lilies have smooth, rounded leaves that float on the surface, with blooms close to the water. Ideal for outdoor ponds with seasonal temperature changes.

Tropical Water Lilies

Known for large, fragrant, star-shaped blooms that rise 6–12 inches above the water. Available in vibrant blue, purple, pink, and red, they thrive in warm climates from spring to autumn.

Australian Water Lilies

A unique group blending hardy and tropical traits, with flowers above the water surface. They need warm conditions and full sunlight, adding distinctive visual appeal to ponds.

Ideal Growing Conditions

Ideal conditions for growing water lilies in your garden include:

  • Warm ambient temperatures ranging from 24°C to 30°C

  • Full sunlight throughout the day, or at least 6 hours of direct sunlight

  • Heavy loam soil placed inside aquatic containers or pond baskets

  • Regular fertilization to provide essential nutrients for healthy growth

Maintaining these conditions helps ensure that your water lilies grow well and produce beautiful blooms.

Planting and Care Guide

Use wide, shallow containers with heavy clay-based soil, avoid regular potting mix, which floats and clouds water. Plant the rhizome with the growing tip exposed, then submerge at 30–45 cm depth. Place in direct sunlight away from moving water, and feed every 3–4 weeks with slow-release aquatic fertiliser tablets. Remove dead leaves regularly, and reduce feeding for hardy varieties during dormant winter months.

Waterlily— FAQs

Can water lilies be grown without a pond?

Yes. Water lilies can be successfully grown in large waterproof tubs and containers, making them suitable for home gardens, terraces and sunny balconies.

How much sunlight do water lilies need?

Most flowering water lilies prefer approximately 5–6 or more hours of direct sunlight for good flowering.

What soil should I use for water lilies?

Heavy garden or clay-rich soil works well. Avoid loose, lightweight potting mixes that float in water.

How deep should the water be?

The ideal water depth depends on the variety and maturity of the plant. Young plants are generally started at a shallower depth and moved deeper as they establish.

Why is my water lily producing leaves but no flowers?

Low sunlight, insufficient nutrients, overcrowding or plant maturity can affect flowering.

What is the difference between tropical and hardy water lilies?

Tropical and hardy water lilies differ in growth habit, flower characteristics and seasonal behaviour. Tropical varieties are particularly well suited to warm growing conditions.

Can water lilies be grown on balconies?

Yes, provided the balcony receives sufficient direct sunlight and can safely support an appropriately sized water-filled container.
