The Tropical Water Lily is dazzling in its beauty. Every pool should 
have at least one Tropical Lily, whether it is Day or Night flowering. 
HOW TO PLANT TROPICAL LILIES 
When planting Tropicals in a pool with other lilies and plants, boxes 
should be used in which to plant the bulbs. For each bulb a box 18 x 18 
inches by 10 inches deep is a good size. Place four inches of fertilizer 
on the bottom, then five inches of soil and one inch of sand. Then plant 
the bulbs, covering them well so that only the top of the crown where 
the leaves and buds are attached is just showing. A few rocks placed 
very close to the crown will help keep the bulbs in place, to get the 
root system started. Place the bulbs at a slight angle, so that they will 
have plenty of room for growth forward. 
Tropical Water Lilies may be wintered in a greenhouse pool, where 
they will bloom all winter. If you do not have this convenience, it is 
best to replace them each spring. Planting new vigorous bulbs each 
year, you will be more than repaid with large and colorful blossoms, 
that will be prize winners for you.
