Ideal for Small-Scale Water Features
Our 1 Litre Pygmaea Water Lilies collection is particularly suited for water gardening enthusiasts with limited space. Whether you’re looking to adorn a balcony pond, a tabletop water feature, or a small garden pond, these dwarf water lilies are an ideal choice. Their modest root systems and compact growth habit make them a perfect fit for smaller containers, ensuring that even the most space-constrained environments can enjoy the beauty of water lilies.
Ecological and Aesthetic Benefits
Beyond their ornamental value water lilies contribute to the ecological balance of your pond or water feature. They provide essential shade for aquatic inhabitants, helping to regulate water temperature and reduce algae growth by limiting sunlight penetration. Additionally, their foliage offers shelter for fish and a habitat for beneficial insects, promoting a healthy and vibrant aquatic ecosystem.
Cultivation and Care
Caring for water lilies is straightforward, making them a fantastic option for both novice and experienced gardeners. They thrive in full to partial sunlight and prefer calm, still waters. For best results, place them at the correct water depth as indicated for each variety, and ensure they receive regular fertilisation during the growing season to encourage abundant flowering.
