Alternatively, Is there anyone reading this who has had good luck with inexpensive lilies in the Gulf Coast region? What kind were they? My hardy water lilies seem to respond to water temperature and hours of sunlight and every type I've tried does well here. I believe they would do well for you. I do have one that will grow in deeper water and grows bigger, maybe a bit more tendency to climb out of the pot than most of the others and I think it might have been dug from the wild out of one of our local lakes. The others are Lowe's whatever they have this year, mostly un-named varieties just different colors and some have leaves that are more interesting. I really think we have an edge on growing most plants being this far South and getting more direct sunlight and heat. They grow well when placed in a pot of garden soil with a couple time released fertilizer spikes. However, I don't have much luck with bare root growth. I've tried several, but those grow slowly and seldom bloom in my pond. -- Hal Middle Georgia, Zone 8 http://tinyurl.com/2fxzcb |
