Ring of Fire
Hardy Waterlily

The Ring of Fire Water Lily: a resplendent aquatic gem hailing from the lush waterways of Thailand.
The latest horticultural marve. ,This medium-sized, hardy specimen boasts a vibrant multi-tonal palette, setting a new standard in water lily aesthetics.

Soon to grace gardens and ponds, the Ring of Fire Water Lily is poised for acquisition, with availability earmarked for the forthcoming year. It emerges as a breathtaking variant within the aquatic flora domain, bearing resemblance to its illustrious predecessors, Wanvisa and Siam Fantasy, yet distinguished by an innovative color pattern borne of a similar mutation. This botanical innovation is not merely a feast for the eyes; it heralds a new era in plant breeding, combining aesthetic allure with robust vigor.

In the garden of aquatic delights, not all blossoms are created equal. While Wanvisa and Siam Fantasy captivate with their floral displays, they often demand the gardener's constant vigilance—requiring frequent fertilization, diligent dividing to prevent overcrowding at the roots, and an optimal environment to flourish. These cultivars, though winter-hardy and capable of producing several flushes of blooms under ideal conditions, may fall short of the gardener's blooming aspirations, thriving for but a brief window each summer.

The Ring of Fire Water Lily, in contrast, promises to transcend these limitations. For optimal cultivation, it is recommended to house this aquatic spectacle in a capacious vessel; a pot ranging from 12 to 16 inches in width and 4 to 7 inches in depth should suffice. Our bespoke 15-inch wide by 6-inch deep fabric container offers the perfect abode for this waterborne beauty. To ensure a season-long display of floriferous splendor, the provision of four fertilizer tablets bi-monthly, from the commencement of the growing season until September, is advised.

This lily thrives best when planted in loamy, sandy soil at a depth of 6 to 18 inches, though it graciously accommodates water depths up to 2.5 feet. It exhibits a preference for natural, earth-bottom ponds over lined alternatives, flourishing under the caress of full sunlight. Beware, however, the koi's indiscriminate palate, for these aquatic denizens are known to uproot and feast upon the unsuspecting water lily.

In sum, the Ring of Fire Water Lily stands as a testament to the innovation and beauty inherent in the world of aquatic gardening. With its arrival, enthusiasts and gardeners alike are invited to partake in the cultivation of a living masterpiece, a beacon of botanical excellence that promises to ignite the waterscape with its fiery hues and resilient charm.
