Snow Princess Hardy Water Lily – A Delicate Miniature White Lily

The Snow Princess Hardy Water Lily is a petite masterpiece, bringing pristine white blooms and charm to even the smallest ponds and patio containers. With its compact size and graceful form, Snow Princess delivers the beauty of a full-sized waterlily in miniature scale — ideal for small spaces, tubs, or decorative water bowls.

Each delicate flower measures 1–2 inches across, resting above tiny green pads (1–4 inches wide). Despite its small size, Snow Princess is a heavy bloomer, producing fresh blossoms from late spring through early fall. The blooms open in the morning and close by late afternoon, each lasting several days.

This miniature variety’s vigor and reliability make it one of the finest small hardy lilies available — a favorite for collectors and gardeners seeking refined elegance in limited space.

Planting & Care Instructions

• Plant Size: Miniature hardy waterlily

• Spread: 1–2 feet across

• Suggested Container: 6–12 inch wide aquatic fabric pot or small pond shelf planting

• Planting Depth (from soil to water surface): 3–12 inches; shallower placement (3–8 inches) encourages prolific flowering

• Soil: Heavy loam topsoil or PondGro Aquatic Loam Soil. Avoid bagged composts, peat, or aquatic media, which float or rot underwater.

• Sunlight Needs: Full sun — at least 6+ hours of strong, direct sunlight daily

• Water Conditions: Still or gently moving water preferred; avoid fountains or splashing on pads

Fertilizing Schedule

• Feed on the 1st and 15th of each month during the growing season (May–September).

• Insert 2–3 Waterlily World Fertilizer Tablets 2–3 inches deep around the rhizome crown.

• Consistent fertilization supports nonstop blooming and healthy growth.

Fragrance

The Snow Princess Hardy Water Lily has a light, clean fragrance that enhances its delicate, refreshing aesthetic — subtle but lovely when the blooms open fully in morning sunlight.

Water Lily Planting Tips

💡 Plant Snow Princess in shallow water (3–8 inches) for abundant flowering.
💡 Use small, wide containers for patio ponds or half-barrels.
💡 Position where it receives at least 6 hours of direct sunlight each day.
💡 Avoid strong moving water — still ponds encourage the best bloom display.
💡 Divide annually in spring or early summer to prevent crowding.

Do’s & Don’ts

Do

• Plant in full sunlight for maximum blooms.

• Use heavy loam soil for stability and nutrient retention.

• Fertilize twice monthly during warm months.

• Divide and repot annually to maintain strong growth.

• Keep the rhizome crown just above the soil line.

Don’t

• ❌ Don’t use gravel, compost, or bagged potting soil — they float or decay underwater.

• ❌ Don’t plant too deep; this small variety thrives near the surface.

• ❌ Don’t allow floating plants or larger lilies to shade it.

• ❌ Don’t delay planting — miniature lilies dry out quickly if left unplanted.

• ❌ Don’t overcrowd — give each plant open surface space for light and air.
