WANTED: Water Lilies for Tub Water Garden for Deck

17 years ago

Does anyone have experience with the Helvola water lily? I want a lily that will go in a 22" wide by 16" tall container. I am hoping to find something small that produces the more flowers than other small hardy lilies throughout the summer.

I have `Mexicalla` a beautiful small yellow lily that blooms
all summer and is very prolific since it propagates by runners to produce more lilies and more blooms.
What do you offer in trade? Xjaxx Jack jatoni@sc.rr.com

I have been growing "Helvola" for about ten years, and it is a great plant for the small water garden. It is one of the more prolific blooming small varieties available. What do you have to trade? Garbird
