Key Characteristics
- Scientific Name: Nymphaea spp. (specific variety might be identified under a different cultivar name)
- Common Names: Tropical waterlily, day-blooming waterlily, night-blooming waterlily
- Family: Nymphaeaceae
Appearance
- Leaves: Large, round leaves (pads) that float on the water’s surface. They are often green but can also have reddish or purplish hues.
- Flowers: Strikingly beautiful flowers that come in a wide range of colors including blue, purple, pink, red, and yellow. They can be day-blooming or night-blooming.
- Growth Habit: Aquatic plant with roots anchored in the soil at the bottom of ponds or water gardens, while leaves and flowers float on the surface.
Growth Conditions
- Light: Requires full sun to bloom prolifically. At least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily is ideal.
- Water: Thrives in still or slow-moving water. The water depth should be at least 12-18 inches (30-45 cm) above the plant’s crown.
- Temperature: Prefers warm temperatures, typically thriving in USDA zones 9-11. Water temperature should ideally be between 70-80°F (21-27°C).
Planting and Propagation
- Planting: Plant in a container filled with heavy clay soil or a specialized aquatic plant soil. Submerge the container in the pond or water garden, ensuring the crown of the plant is underwater.
- Propagation: Propagated through rhizomes or tubers. Divide the tubers in spring or early summer when replanting.
Care Tips
- Fertilization: Regular fertilization is essential for vibrant blooms. Use slow-release aquatic plant fertilizer tablets inserted into the soil every 4-6 weeks during the growing season.
- Pruning: Remove yellowed or damaged leaves and spent flowers regularly to encourage new growth and maintain water quality.
- Winter Care: In colder climates, tropical waterlilies need to be brought indoors during winter. They can be stored as dormant tubers in a cool, dark place, or kept in an indoor pond or aquarium with appropriate conditions.
Uses in Landscaping
- Ornamental: Ideal for ornamental ponds and water gardens due to their spectacular blooms and ability to cover the water surface with attractive foliage.
- Wildlife Habitat: Provides habitat and shelter for aquatic wildlife, including frogs, fish, and beneficial insects.
Summary
The Hassabadaian tropical waterlily, like other tropical waterlilies, is a stunning addition to any water garden, offering vibrant colors and a touch of exotic beauty. Proper care, including ample sunlight, regular fertilization, and appropriate water conditions, will ensure these aquatic plants thrive and enhance the aesthetic appeal of the aquatic landscape.
