Pond-lily are aquatic perennial plants, favoring acidic, loamy, & well-draining soil. They thrive in full to partial sun with regular water, as they naturally grow in ponds and marshes. When planting pond-lily, dig a hole twice the size of the root ball, place the plant in, and backfill the hole, ensuring it's firm around the base. Post-planting, maintain sufficient water levels for optimal growth. Note that different pond-lily species may have specific requirements, so research your chosen species before starting.
