A Water Lily can be a fantastic sight in a pond. Blooming in summer, this water plant produces beautiful white or pink flowers on large green leaves. These fit into the decor of a garden or they add that little extra to the look of a building.<\/p>

However, many people think that the water lily also has many benefits for water quality, but that is not so bad. Water lilies tend to proliferate quite a bit. Placement in a sturdy basket can prevent this somewhat, but it is something to keep an eye on. The Water Lily's large leaves provide shade. Incidentally, this is a positive point; the floating algae in the pond have less sunlight available and will therefore grow less. A disadvantage is that, if the pond is far dense with Water Lily leaves, this is also at the expense of the submerged aquatic plants.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

What types of water lilies are there?<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The white Water Lily is fairly common in the Netherlands and prefers to grow in still or slow-flowing water that is up to about 1.5 metres deep. The seeds from the fruit, which ripens underwater and is shaped like a bottle, are dispersed through the water.<\/p>

Besides the White Water Lily, there are a number of colours available in the Netherlands and Belgium.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Are there alternatives to water lilies?<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Alternatives to the Water Lily are certainly available, although they cannot be placed too deep. Pikeweed is a good example.<\/p>

This riparian plant can provide a beautiful look in ponds that are not too deep. Arrowweed and Water Thistle also produce beautiful flowers and are something else again!<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
