While not the most flattering picture of the pond......I was amazed yesterday to find that my Sioux lily had 6 blossoms and 2 buds! @addy1

I have read and heard that the Sioux lilies are prolific bloomers and If I had known that sooner I would have put more of them in my pond since my one Sioux lily is the only one that is blooming so far. They put out a LOT of pads as well. I've been very pleased with mine so far.

How often are you fertilizing them?
Well, normally, only once a year (lazy). I repotted them maybe a month and a half ago and fertilized them then. I ordered something from AMAZON because I wanted tablets and couldn’t find anything locally.

This is what I ordered, and it’s a 10-14-8.

I really didn’t care too much about blooms as I was more concerned with getting a lot of pads for surface coverage. So, I ended up with both, LOL! Some of those pads are literally dinner plate size — or bigger (10”-12” range). I’ve had this lily from day 1 of the pond (2012) and it’s never put out like this before!
