Purple Tropical

Water Lilies:

Panama Pacific

Panama Pacific is a tropical, day-blooming water lily with deep plum colored blossoms and yellow stamens. It is an excellent, fragrant bloomer that is hardier than many other tropical water lilies. The Panama Pacific has viviparous bronze-green leaves with reddish mottling. This plant can spread up to 6-1/2′ and is recommended to be in 12-30″ of water in a 2 gallon or larger container.

Panama Pacific is a very hardy tropical water lily that produces a lot of purple flowers over a long growing season. This purple tropical water lily tolerates partial shade and is very fragrant. Will stay open late in the day.

Tropical water lilies offer fragrance and beauty to the water garden all summer long. Varieties like Panama Pacific, introduced in the United States in 1914, bloom in a reddish-purple color not available in hardy lilies. Their stems extend up from the water’s surface. The flower’s yellow stamens contrast nicely with the purplish petals. The Panama Pacific’s bronze-green leaves float on the pond, showing off it’s saw-toothed edges. The Panama Pacific is just one of the many water lilies blooming now in our ponds at Sunland water gardens.
