Pink Silk Hardy ISG Water Lily
This Hardy Water Lily has large bright fuchsia star-shaped flowers, that always emerge above the water surface. Complimented by dark green oval leaves, One of the characteristics of this and other ISG crosses where one parent plant is a Tropical lily is that they do not come out of dormancy until the water is very warm in the spring, in the low to mid 70s at root level. Note: ISG lilies need to be planted in warm water even though they will overwinter in cold water. Planting them as a grown plant too early in cold water will set them into immediate dormancy so please follow our advised ship date. We advise the water be 70 degrees or warmer when planting to avoid plants going into dormancy on arrival.
SIZE: Large (6' to 7' Spread)

Hardy ISG Water Lily – Fuchsia Star-Shaped Pond Lily
Large, Above-Water Blooms with Tropical Hybrid Performance
This Hardy ISG Water Lily produces stunning, bright fuchsia star-shaped flowers that rise above the water’s surface, creating a bold focal point in any pond. Its dark green, oval leaves provide a beautiful contrast to the vibrant blooms, enhancing its visual appeal. As an intersubgeneric (ISG) hybrid with tropical lineage, this lily requires warmer water temperatures to break dormancy and begin active growth. For best results, plant when water temperatures reach at least 70°F to prevent early dormancy. Ideal for larger ponds, it spreads 6 to 7 feet and thrives in full sun at water depths of 12 to 24 inches. Hardy in zones 7–11, this unique water lily combines the resilience of hardy varieties with the striking beauty of tropical blooms.
