Product Overview
Pink Beauty (aka Fabiola) Pink Hardy Waterlily
A free flowering clear pure pink, and one of the best--may have several flowers open at once on mature plants. A good choice for any size pond.
Pink Beauty was many years ago confused with and called and sold as Fabiola, which is a cultivar originally hybridized by Marliac over 100 years ago. The true Fabiola is a pink textured with a white background and a more cup-shaped blossom.
SIZE: Medium (4-5' Spread)
PLANTING CONTAINER: We recommend a 12.5" x 7" or 15" x 7" fabric pot. Click on the link to read about why fabric pots work better!
FERTILIZING: For best health and growth, and especially for maximizing the size and number of blooms, we recommend fertilizing waterlilies regularly. Use Pondtabbs 20 count, 60 count, or 300 count for fast release, or Aquascape 6 count or 12 count capsules for slow release (once a year) fertilizing. Aquascape is preferred for low maintenance, but Pondtabbs are useful in Spring when Aquascape is slow to start in low temperatures. Pondtabbs are also useful for a quick extra nutrient push for extra bloom, and for mid-summer fertilizing of a new plant (we don't recommend using slow release fertilizer in mid-summer or later in cold climates, as plants should run out of fertilizer at the end of the year to encourage dormancy in cold climates).
LIGHT REQUIREMENTS: Full sun to partial shade; the more sun, the more bloom
WATER DEPTH: 12" TO 36" (Maximum water depth is for mature water lilies)
USDA HARDINESS ZONES: 4-11
