Pond Boss Forums AQUATIC VEGETATION Balance of plants in the environment Water Lily Seeds

You don't really want water lilies that produce fertile seeds as this version of water lily will spread very fast and grow to depths of 8ft or more. This version of lily also produces rhizome buds that continually break loose, float to shore and start new plants all over the place. If control of water lilies are a concern then you want Hardy hybrid water lilies that do not produce viable seeds which is beneficial to help keep them from taking over a pond unless that is your goal - pond takeover by lily pads.
