Tropical waterlilies are easily hybridized, and many of the varieties that we saw were bred at the gardens, or are available at online water garden retailers. Easy enough to grow, you must meet some basic requirements for these giants, mainly, a large, warm pond of water, which most of us, do not have. There are plenty of dwarf and small growing varieties worth seeking out, as well as hardy forms, but the finest horticultural specimens are these, the night and day blooming forms of tropical waterlilies, or Nymphaea species.<\/p>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\n<img decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/gardern.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/lily1copy.jpg?w=640&#038;ssl=1\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\nIn the foreground, you can see a dwarf, or smaller variety, but the standard tropical Nymphaea in the back, has pads that are about 14 inches in diameter and fragrant blossoms that can be nearly 10 inches wide. Mid October is peak waterlily season, but plants can bloom from June onwards. The water in the pools at Longwood is not as deep as you may think, only 30 inches, but the black dye in the water gives one the illusion that the pools are bottomless.<\/div>\n<table align=\"center\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" class=\"tr-caption-container\" style=\"margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/gardern.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/lily8copy.jpg?w=640&#038;ssl=1\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"tr-caption\" style=\"text-align: center;\">NIGHT BLOOMING WATERLILIES CAN COME IN AMAZING TROPICAL COLORS, SUCH AS THIS DEEP VIOLET HYBRID THAT NOT ONLY HAS PURPLE FLOWERS, BUT SPECKLED FOLIAGE.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\n<\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\n<img decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/gardern.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/lily2copy.jpg?w=640&#038;ssl=1\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\nThere is no doubt that the stasr of the collection at Longwood are the various crosses of the Giant Water Platters.
