The Lindsey Woods Water Lily is a breathtaking tropical day-bloomer named in remembrance of a beautiful 14-year-old girl who lost her battle with cancer. This variety is drenched in rich purple-violet blossoms with glowing golden-yellow centers, making it one of the most striking pond plants you can add to your garden. With a medium spread of 4–6 feet and solid green pads, this viviparous tropical water lily is vigorous, reliable, and blooms beautifully all summer long.

Its blooms rise elegantly above the water’s surface, creating a bold contrast against lush green pads. This variety is a true showpiece in any water garden or pond setting.

📦 Seasonal Shipping Information for Tropical Water Lilies

Tropical water lilies are often ready a few weeks later than other pond plants in spring. They typically ship between May and August/September when conditions are warm enough for healthy growth.

• If your order includes a tropical water lily, the entire order will be held until the tropical is available.

• If you want to receive other pond plants sooner, please place two separate orders.

• In northern regions, tropical water lilies are generally ready just as it becomes safe to ship pond plants to your area.

💡 PondMegastore Tip: Lindsey Woods is viviparous—look for tiny plantlets forming on leaves later in the season, which can be propagated into new water lilies.
