Sioux Water Lily Nymphaea Sioux - 3L Pot
The gorgeous Sioux Waterlily is a star shaped perennial originating from North America. It should be planted ideally in early spring in water more than 7.2°C, initially about 13cm deep, before it is lowered to its preferred depth of approx. 30-45cm as it starts to grow. The Sioux lily boasts a beautiful changeable palette of shades which alter daily. Hues of pink, peach, orange, and red grace its petals as its star shaped flowers stay open until late evening.

Advice on hot and droopy plants
If your plants are looking a little wilted right now, don’t worry! Plants like to be filled with water to keep their structure, and when it’s hot that water evaporates.
Just give them an off-schedule watering and they’ll be right as rain in no time! Be careful not to flood them - plants don’t like extremes.
