The Lily does not come named. Plant Red / Pink tropical water lilies at a 12" to 24" depth and fertilize once a month for best growth and blooming throughout the season.

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). For best bloom, double the amount of fertilizer for tropicals, compared to other plants.
Water Lilies are shipped bare root or in small starter pots, and will require planting upon arrival. For in depth planting and maintenance instructions, including overwintering, visit Planting and Care for Tropical Waterlilies.
