Ring of Fire is a new winter-hardy waterlily, another mutation or sport from the mutant family tree of Wanvisa. Though not an original here from Moore Waterlilies, this new waterlily should be popular for those wanting something with a two-tone appearance.
'Ring of Fire' is a medium to large waterlily with, on average, 5 to 7-inch pads and can be planted from a few inches below the water line to one or more feet deep, depending on the pond and location. The lily pads are mottled red and green, and can be really interesting with contrast to the flower petals. Fertilizer twice a month during the growing season with aquatic plant tablets. A 12 to 16-inch wide pot is perfect if planting in a pond with a liner. Use loam topsoil with little to no organic material when planting and leave your rhizomes growing point above the soil line exposed to full sun.
Waterlilies prefer full sun for best blooming and regular dividing.
