🧡 Prakisad Hardy Water Lily – A Coral-Peach Blooming Powerhouse

The Prakisad Hardy Water Lily is one of the heaviest blooming and most striking hardy waterlilies in cultivation today. This medium-sized perennial variety produces scrumptious, coral-peach to orange flowers that seem to shimmer above its incredible red-mottled pads. Each bloom opens wide and glows in the sun, making Prakisad a radiant focal point in any pond.

A natural mutation of the famous Colorado Hardy Water Lily, Prakisad carries on that lineage of excellence — but with richer colors, more blooms, and showier contrast. Once planted, it rewards you with daily blossoms from late spring to early fall, filling your pond with color and elegance all season long.

This variety is ideal for lined or natural ponds and large container gardens alike. With consistent care, Prakisad Hardy Water Lily will quickly become a customer favorite and the crown jewel of your water garden.

🌱 Planting & Care Instructions for Prakisad Hardy Water Lily

• Size: Medium hardy water lily

• Spread: 3–4 feet

• Suggested Pot Size: 14–16 inch wide aquatic fabric container or direct earth-bottom pond planting

• Planting Depth: 6–24 inches from soil to water surface for best flowering performance

• Soil Requirements: Use heavy loam topsoil from your yard or PondGro Aquatic Planting Soil. Avoid bagged composts, aquatic planting media, or stones, which can rot or hinder root growth.

• Sunlight Needs: Full sun – at least 6+ hours of strong, direct sunlight daily.

• Fertilizing Schedule: Apply 3–4 Waterlily World Fertilizer Tablets on the 1st and 15th of each month (April–September) for nonstop blooms.

💡 Pro Tip: Divide and replant your waterlily every 1–2 years to maintain vigor and abundant flowering.

✅ Do’s & ❌ Don’ts for Prakisad Hardy Water Lily

✅ Do:

• Plant in a wide, shallow container or directly in your pond’s shallow shelf.

• Keep in full sun for maximum blooming potential.

• Fertilize consistently throughout the growing season.

• Maintain open surface space around the pads to ensure sunlight exposure.

• Use heavy loam soil and divide regularly to maintain strong growth.

❌ Don’t:

• Do not allow the plant to dry out — plant immediately upon arrival.

• Do not cover the crown of the rhizome with gravel or stones; it must remain slightly exposed.

• Do not use bagged potting mixes or compost soils, as they float and rot in water.

• Do not plant too deep; this reduces flowering.

• Do not allow floating plants to shade your Prakisad — its pads act as solar panels and need light to produce flowers.
