Tropical lilies are a must for any water garden despite that they won’t winter over in the cold regions. Most of the tropical lilies blooms are larger and in most cases the colors are more intense than the hardy lilies, tropical lilies also offer both blue and purple flowers as well as a variety of night blooming lilies. As mentioned they are worth having even if you have to replace them the following year, the cost is comparable to having to replace some of the annuals you may be growing in your flower beds. PLEASE READ! Water temperatures have to be at least 70 degrees or warmer both, day and night for tropical lilies to survive and bloom. Be aware of temperatures when you are ordering your tropical lilies and that they are going to remain stable. Fluctuating weather conditions in some regions in early spring could cause tropical lilies to get to cold and die. It is wise to wait to put the tropical plants in the pond once the possibility of any cold temperatures are past. Weather permitting tropical lilies are shipped mid April through September. Dauben
