When do lily pads bloom?

Answer by  mike49 (373)

They can bloom from late May through August depending on the kind of bulb purchased. By feeding and watering them, nature takes care of the rest. When the bulbs grow larger, they will grow larger stalks with more buds.

Water lilies(lily pads) are water plants, but they float on water because they desperately need sunlight. If you have them at home make sure your pond is exposed to the sun for at least six hours everyday. If you make sure of that they will bloom for the whole summer.

Like early to mid july. You can do an internet search on them and it will tell you from what date to what date they bloom because I know different lily pads bloom at different times and I believe when it blooms depends on the color of the flowers.

Lily pads bloom once yearly and the blooms last for up to two weeks. Different kinds/colors bloom at different times. You can plant accordingly and have blooms longer.

It depends on which colors you have the pink ones usually bloom mid to late june but some of the yellow ones are blooming no it depends on the water temperature and how long you have had them. If they have a good root base they will bloom early and for a long time if not they will bloom later.

They bloom during summer months. If you plant during fall, winter, or spring you will no doubt have blooms the next summer. Do not pinch to increase blooms-this will only injure plant. If you water and feed your plant properly, each year it will have larger bulbs that help grow larger stalks that produce more buds.
