Siam Angel Hardy Water Lily

Siam Angel Hardy Water Lily – The Angelic Pink Showpiece

The Siam Angel Hardy Water Lily is a magnificent hybrid that embodies beauty, fragrance, and grace. Its soft-to-deep pink blooms seem to glow above the water, each flower a masterpiece that changes subtly with time and temperature.

During cool mornings, the first-day blooms open in richer, deeper pink tones, while older flowers fade to soft blush and rose — creating a breathtaking, multi-toned display when several blossoms are open at once. The blooms are large, 4.5–7 inches across, and often stand proudly above the water for the first and second day before resting gently on the surface.

With sweet fragrance, steady flowering, and vibrant maroon-to-green pads, Siam Angel combines tropical allure with hardy dependability. It’s a superb addition for collectors and an unforgettable centerpiece for any pond.

Planting & Care Instructions

• Plant Size: Medium-to-large hardy waterlily

• Spread: 3.5–5.5 feet across

• Suggested Container: 15–18 inch wide aquatic fabric container, or plant directly into the shallow edge of a natural pond

• Planting Depth (from soil to water surface): 8–18 inches for best results; shallower placement (8–12 inches) encourages earlier blooming

• Soil: Use heavy loam topsoil or PondGro Aquatic Loam Soil. Avoid composts, peat, or gravel which float or decay underwater.

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

• Water Conditions: Still or lightly circulating water preferred; avoid splashing directly over pads

• Blooming Habit: Steady to heavy bloomer; thrives with regular fertilizing and strong light

Fertilizing Schedule

• Feed on the 1st and 15th of each month during the growing season (May–September).

• Insert 4–6 Waterlily World Fertilizer Tablets 3–4 inches deep near the rhizome crown.

• Regular feeding promotes larger, longer-lasting flowers and consistent blooming throughout the season.

Fragrance

The Siam Angel Hardy Water Lily carries a sweet, floral fragrance, noticeable from a short distance and most pronounced during sunny midday hours when the flowers are fully open.

Water Lily Planting Tips

💡 Plant Siam Angel in full, unobstructed sun to achieve the richest color variation between flowers.
💡 Use wide, shallow containers filled with heavy loam soil — avoid bagged mixes that float or rot.
💡 Divide rhizomes every 1–2 years in spring to maintain vigorous growth.
💡 Keep pads spread out with open surface space for maximum bloom production.
💡 Consistent fertilizer is key — large flowers need steady nutrients.

Do’s & Don’ts

Do

• Plant in full sun for vivid color and steady blooms.

• Use heavy loam soil to anchor roots securely.

• Fertilize twice monthly for strong growth and frequent flowering.

• Divide regularly to maintain vigor and prevent crowding.

• Keep the crown slightly above the soil line when planting.

Don’t

• ❌ Don’t use gravel, peat, or compost-based soils — they float and smother the plant.

• ❌ Don’t plant too deep (>18 inches); shallow planting encourages richer color.

• ❌ Don’t cover the rhizome crown with soil or stones.

• ❌ Don’t let floating plants or overhanging pads shade Siam Angel.

• ❌ Don’t delay planting — waterlilies dry quickly and must remain wet.
