Virginalis Hardy Water Lily – A Classic White Beauty

The Virginalis Hardy Water Lily is a timeless classic and one of the most beloved white waterlilies ever created. A masterpiece from the renowned French hybridizer Joseph Bory Latour-Marliac, Virginalis has been admired for over a century for its large, pure-white, cup-shaped blooms that float serenely on the water.

Each flower opens with flawless form — elegant, slightly pointed petals arranged around a glowing golden center. The blooms are gently fragrant and sit gracefully above deep green pads, creating a look that feels both regal and peaceful.

Refined yet vigorous, Virginalis is a reliable perennial that thrives in a wide range of pond types, from formal koi ponds to natural earth-bottom settings. It’s a must-have for any water garden that values classic beauty and enduring performance.


Planting & Care Instructions

  • Plant Size: Medium-to-large hardy waterlily

  • Spread: 4–5 feet across

  • Suggested Container: 15-inch or larger aquatic fabric container, or plant directly into an earth-bottom pond

  • Planting Depth (from soil to water surface): 6–30 inches; blooms best between 8–18 inches

  • Soil: Use heavy loam topsoil or PondGro Aquatic Loam Soil. Avoid bagged compost, peat, or aquatic planting media that float or decay in water.

  • Sunlight Needs: Full sun — at least 6+ hours of strong, direct light daily.

  • Water Conditions: Still or calm water; avoid placing near fountains or splashing features.

  • Blooming Habit: Steady, dependable bloomer throughout summer.


Fertilizing Schedule

  • Fertilize on the 1st and 15th of each month (May–September).

  • Insert 4–5 Waterlily World Fertilizer Tablets 3–4 inches deep around the rhizome crown.

  • Consistent feeding ensures large, luminous flowers and continuous blooming.


Fragrance

The Virginalis Hardy Water Lily emits a light, clean fragrance that enhances its serene visual beauty — subtle enough for formal water features but pleasantly noticeable when you’re nearby.


Water Lily Planting Tips

💡 Plant shallower (8–14 inches deep) for quicker establishment and more blooms.
💡 Use wide containers with heavy loam soil for healthy root expansion.
💡 Divide rhizomes every 2–3 years to maintain vigor and ensure consistent flowering.
💡 Keep the water still for the best bloom display — avoid aeration directly over the plant.
💡 Trim away yellowing leaves and spent flowers to encourage continuous new growth.


Do’s & Don’ts

Do

  • Plant in full sun for abundant blooms.

  • Use heavy loam soil for root stability.

  • Fertilize regularly for the strongest flowering results.

  • Divide every 2–3 years to refresh growth.

  • Keep crowns slightly above the soil surface when planting.

Don’t

  • ❌ Don’t use gravel, compost, or lightweight soil mixes — they cause poor growth.

  • ❌ Don’t bury the crown under soil or stones.

  • ❌ Don’t overcrowd; lilies need space and sunlight.

  • ❌ Don’t plant too deep if heavy blooming is desired.

  • ❌ Don’t delay planting; lilies must stay wet and be potted immediately upon arrival.

Great power strip for my shop vac and miter saw!
Size: 12 Outlet
Works great in my garage! I currently have it mounted on the wall and have my shop vac and miter saw plugged in. It makes it incredibly easy to turn the master switch on and have my shop vac and miter saw turn on at the same time. When I’m not using the shop vac and miter saw combo, I shut off their individual switches and I’m free to use the other plugs so the individual switches for each outlet are very handy! It’s very durable as I have it mounted on the wall and has an adequate number of outlets for my work bench. The size is just right and it was very easy to mount. My only suggestion is to space the screw holes on the power strip so that it can be mounted between 2 standard wall studs 16 inches on center for unfinished wall mounting. The screw holes didn’t line up like this so I could only put screws on one side of it and I needed to improvise a way to secure the other side of the power strip to the next stud so it was as mounted securely and didn’t move as I plugged and unplugged things.

Perfect power strip
Size: 6 Outlet
Great value for the money. I love the switches for each plug and has lights at each plug; lets you know when you have a outlet switched on, love that. Well-made, heavy-duty cord and circuit breaker, all high quality.

3300 Joules surge protected, sturdy and perfect for my office
Size: 12 Outlet
I purchased this power strip once a few months ago, and just purchased a second one, both for my office! I use the first one screwed at the bottom of my desk to plug in my Mac, 2 monitors, 2 Homepod, 1 external drive, my Echo Dot and a few other things. What I love about this is: 1. It has 12 slots that are perfectly spread out so that all of the power plugs, even the bulkier ones, fit nicely next to each other 2. There is a killer switch on each slot, which makes it globally safer if one of the outlet fries, or if I want to turn off some of the devices while I am away. It also includes a 3300 Joules surge protection, which is quite high comparer to similar power strips! Luckily, I never had to test its efficiency yet... I am pretty sure it won't replace a proper but much pricier UPS device, but it's better than nothing! 3. I love the fact that you can contain all of the wires on the sides, so that they don't dangle and don't get tangled. 4. This is very well built, it feels sturdy. I don't especially like the yellow color, but to be honest, it's hidden anyway! So I just purchased another one to plug in all of the devices that I have on the other side of my office: the eero modem, echo amp, Mac Mini, Nas Drive, printer and the Philips Hue hub and lights, and it all works like a charm, and doesn't catch dust as much as before. Most of the time, I'm very critical about what I purchase, but in this case, I think it's great and worth sharing ;-)

Works great! Buying more.
Size: 10 Outlet
Works great! Love the feature that allows you the ability to turn individual plugs off and on. The ability to run the chords through both ends for a clean look is a nice feature too. In the process of buying two more for the bedrooms.

Versatile, High-Quality Power Strip for Home Use
Size: 6 Outlet
Nice, Heavy-Duty Power Strip that can be used in many ways. I installed two of these strips in my garage and am pleased with the results. The individual switches for each plug is a plus if you need that amount of control. The strip mounted easily. The materials and quality appear to be excellent, telling me that the power strip will last many years.
