Coral Sky Tropical Water Lily

The Coral Sky Water Lily is a radiant tropical day-bloomer that produces brilliant, bright-pink blossoms all summer long. Each flower measures about 6 inches across and rises proudly above the water’s surface, glowing with warmth against lush, mottled green pads. A prolific and heavy bloomer, Coral Sky adds vibrant color and tropical elegance to any water garden, from decorative backyard ponds to larger pondscapes.

This variety performs beautifully in warm climates and is equally reliable in northern gardens when treated as an annual. With proper fertilization and full sun, the Coral Sky Tropical Water Lily will reward you with nonstop blooms all season—making it a must-have among tropical pond plants.
