Plant description

Ultra Violet Tropical Water Lily

The Ultra Violet Water Lily is a heavy-blooming tropical variety that dazzles with its sumptuous dark purple petals and radiant golden-yellow centers. Each bloom rises regally 4–7 inches above the water’s surface, creating a dramatic, upright display. Beneath the blossoms, the maroon lily pads splashed with lighter red add striking contrast, making Ultra Violet one of the most eye-catching pond plants for any water garden. A sweet fragrance completes the sensory experience, making this tropical annual a true knockout.

With a spread of 4 to 7.5 feet depending on container size and fertilization, Ultra Violet is well-suited for medium to large ponds, or as a showpiece in decorative container gardens. Like all tropical water lilies, it thrives with full sun, warm water, and consistent feeding. Treat it as an annual in northern climates, and replant each spring for reliable summer blooms.


🌱 Planting & Care Instructions

  • Ultra Violet Water Lily Spread: 4–7.5 feet, depending on pot size and feeding

  • Ultra Violet Water Lily Suggested Pot Size: 9–14 inch wide fabric pond pots

  • Ultra Violet Water Lily Depth: 6–24 inches of water over the crown

  • Soil: Heavy loam (avoid bagged soil with compost; it rots underwater)

  • Fertilizing: 4–5 Waterlily World Fertilizer Tablets on the 1st and 15th of each month (safe for fish & all pond life)

  • Fragrance: Yes, sweetly scented

  • Winter Hardiness: Zones 9–12 (annual in colder zones)

💡 PondMegastore Tip: Ultra Violet is a VERY heavy feeder—the more regularly you fertilize, the more flowers you’ll enjoy all season long.


✅ Do’s & ❌ Don’ts for Ultra Violet Water Lily

Do’s
✅ Use a wide, shallow fabric pond pot (9–14 inches)
✅ Plant in heavy loam soil
✅ Fertilize generously twice per month with 4–5 tablets
✅ Place in full sun (6+ hours daily) for maximum flowering
✅ Allow ample space (4–7.5 feet spread) for pads to float freely
✅ If desired, use a thin layer of clean sand to cover soil—make sure the growing point remains exposed to sunlight

Don’ts
❌ Don’t use bagged potting soil (compost promotes rot in water)
❌ Don’t underfeed—this variety is a heavy bloomer and feeder
❌ Don’t overcrowd—spreading pads need open water
❌ Don’t place the growing tip deep or cover the growing point
❌ Don’t add stone or gravel on top of soil—this often causes plant mortality

Love learning new things!
Format: Paperback
Love the book but unless you have a foreknowledge of myths from around the world and the experts that have written about them, you will need your phone next to you to look up everything that is being talked about. Like, on every page. Not an easy read.

Properly intellectual, and both demanding and rewarding as such
Format: Paperback
Anyone who plans to read this book is likely to know its premise already, so, I will not spend time or effort to recap it. All I can say is that the way the book is more eloquent, is altogether smarter, and more beautifully written than I expected. This is a true intellectual treat written with proper intellectual verve. So, no conspiracy theorists, or the simpleton believers in ancient aliens need not apply. If, however, you achieved a proper academic attainment - got your Masters or PhD and enjoy intellectual stimulation, this is a rare gem, to be digested slowly and deliberately, as no similar book is to be encountered any time soon. In other words, just a great book, presenting fascinating thoughts. It does not need anyone’s endorsement, as it is already a well-known entity within its field, yet, here it is – very heartily recommend!

Get it before it goes back out of print!
Format: Paperback
This book sat on my wish list for years while the price hovered just a bit too high for my liking. My patience has been rewarded with a back in print price that makes getting it a no-brainer. That said, I can't say I believe the main theory of this book, but it is a good start and an enjoyable read regardless. It seems to me that authors feel a need to propound an overarching and impossible-to-prove theory, in order to write some comparative mythology. I was brought to this book a long time ago after reading Charles Hapgood's Map of ancient Sea Kings. Another good author in the same vein is Gavin White, who wrote Babalonian Star Lore and several others.

I'm rereading the book. It's great!
The idea of progress is a relatively knew idea within the history of humans. The idea of progress is fundamental to the ideas of Capitalism and economic growth. Many Americans blindly believe that of progress, economic growth, and Capitalism are leading to the betterment of humans. If one carefully reads the IPCC's Fifth Assessment Report, it states that CO2 (and other greenhouse gasses) emissions are driving global warming and thus climate change. That report also says that economic growth and population growth are driving those emissions. Climate change is one of the "progress traps" Wright is talking about. Progress does not inexorably lead to the betterment of humans. Nor do growth economies, including Capitalism. Wright helps readers see the big pictures of how humans have interacted with the Earth in ways that destroy civilizations and threatens to ruin our host, Earth. The Myth of Progress by Tom Wessells is another good book about progress.

Each time history repeats itself, the price goes up
What is the difference between our 21st century global civilization, the ancient Sumerians, the Easter Islanders of Cook's day, empirical Rome, or the Maya civilization. Answer, not much. The last four are all societies that had their heyday, become stuck in a paradigm, and then brought ecological disaster on themselves via overpopulation and over exploitation of natural resources. "Each time history repeats itself, the price goes up", Wrights quotes from some pertinent graffiti. The cost this time could be in the billions of souls. This a short book 132 pages of actual text with another 68 or so of footnotes at the end. It is a mad rush through human history exploring the collapse of those civilizations and a couple that have been more sustainable. Wright also explores the traps of progress. That is mankind becomes so good at hunting he drives his food source into extinction. Then we become so proficient at an irrigation technology we ruin the land. We become so good at weapons we create bombs that could ruin the whole world. As a race, he contends, we seem to push every technology to the brink, to our collective woe. I read with highlighter in hand. I had to restrain myself for marking whole long sections. As it is, the book now has a pink glow. Several pages have yellow tabs so I can find passages easily again. One such passage from the book summarizes it for me: "The human inability to foresee - or to watch out for - long-range consequences may be inherent to our kind, shaped by the millions of years when we lived from hand to mouth by hunting and gathering. It may also be little more than a mix of inertia, greed, and foolishness encouraged by the shape of the social pyramid. The concentration of power at the top of large-scale societies gives the elite a vested interest in the status quo; they continue to prosper in darkening times long after the environment and general populace begin to suffer." I remember as a biology major we studied the boom and bust cycle of animal populations. It was suggested in class that the human animal could follow the same cycle. The professor dismissed the idea, but not so Wright. He sees us at the high point in a few years, then the collapse unless we act now. One other passage really struck home with me: "The idea that the world must be run by the stock market is as mad as any other fundamentalist delusion, Islamic, Christian, or Marxist." That tears at the very sand we have our society built on. The sheer pace of Wright's march through history mirrors the author's urgency about how long we have to act to save our society. The countdown has already begun. The question remains, do we have the gumption to take the necessary action. The book is at its heart liberal, and rightly so. Any possible solution to forestall the potential social collapse will not be from the top of the pyramid. They long ago seemed to have forgotten the concept of usufruct; we are just borrowing this planet from our children and grandchildren. Wright holds out a glimmer of hope, but the candle is flickering.
