Do you plan on growing water lilies outside or in a garden?
Do you have a pond in your garden?
Do you live somewhere with a hot climate?
Does your garden have a place for a large aquatic planter where it will stay in the full sun for at least 6-8 hours a day?
Does your home have a place for a large aquatic planter where it will stay in full sunlight for at least 6-8 hours a day?
You can grow both tropical and hardy water lilies in your pond. Tropical water lilies require a water temperature of at least 60°F all year round, while 70°F would be ideal. Hardy water lilies will have no problem thriving in your pond. Plant water lilies during spring.
You can grow hardy water lilies as they can survive periods of frost during winter. If you wish to grow tropical water lilies, you wil have to move them inside during colder months for overwintering or grow them as annuals (for one season only). Plant water lilies during spring.
Then you can't grow fully grown water lilies in your garden. You can, however, grow water lilies in a smaller, portable container as annuals only.

Indoors water lilies are more susceptible to pests than outdoors ones, so make sure to protect them.

Hi! I’m Sreten Filipović. I graduated from the Faculty of Agriculture at the University of Belgrade, with a master's degree in Environmental Protection in Agricultural Systems. I’ve worked as a researcher at Finland's Natural Resources Institute (LUKE) on a project aimed at adapting south-western Finland to drought episodes. I founded a consulting agency in the field of environment and agriculture to help farmers who want to implement the principles of sustainability on their farms. I’m also a founding member of the nonprofit organization Ecogenesis from Belgrade whose main goal is non-formal education on the environment and ecology. In my spare time, I like to write blog posts about sustainability, the environment, animal farming, horticulture, and plant protection. I’ve also published several science-fiction short stories.
