A month or to ago someone was asking about purchasing water lilies. I had mentioned I had gotten some at Wal Mart about 3 years ago. I never did get a bloom out of them. Well, I finally have two blooms. WOW !!! I am so excited. I had gone to our local garden center & they suggested some fertilizer tablets. I put two into each water
lily plant container. The containers are a plastic covers which the lilies came in. There is a door on the bottom so I opened it up & shoved the two tablets into the root area on each plant. I waited 30 days & did the same thing to each plant. Now to watch the
flowers work their way up out of the water & open up & bloom. I store my water lilies in a 5 gallon pail in the basement sunroom & they winter over really well. I am in
zone 4. I have been putting the lilies in a 24 inch deep container during the summer. I guess patience & fertilizing them paid off. :wink:
