Perry’s Baby Red Hardy Waterlily – A Small Red Gem for Ponds & Containers

The Perry’s Baby Red Hardy Waterlily is a true classic in the world of pond plants. Hybridized by Perry Slocum in 1983, this hardy water lily produces charming, cup-shaped blooms with rich, rosy-red petals that lighten gracefully toward the outer edges. Its heart-shaped green pads begin as purple-brown before maturing to a soft green, creating a striking contrast with the deep red blossoms.

Compact and reliable, Perry’s Baby Red Hardy Waterlily is a prolific bloomer from late spring through frost. Its petite 18–28 inch spread makes it a wonderful choice for small ponds, patio tubs, and container water gardens. The lightly fragrant flowers often appear in abundance, ensuring you’ll never see just one bloom at a time.

If you’re searching for a hardy water lily with brilliant color and reliable performance in limited space, this variety is a must-have!


Perry’s Baby Red Hardy Waterlily Proper Planting and Care

  • Container Size: Plant in a 12–14 inch wide container (fabric aquatic pots recommended).

  • Soil Type: Use heavy loam topsoil only (avoid bagged soils with compost, which float and rot in water).

  • Depth from Soil to Water Surface: Best grown 5–20 inches deep in the pond.

  • Sunlight Needs: Requires 6+ hours of strong, direct sunlight daily for abundant blooms.

  • Bloom Season: Steady blooms from late spring through frost when properly planted and fertilized.


Perry’s Baby Red Hardy Waterlily Fertilizing Schedule

  • Fertilize on the 1st and 15th of each month throughout the growing season (April–September).

  • Insert 2–3 Waterlily World Fertilizer Tablets into the soil, 3–4 inches deep near the crown.

  • Regular feeding ensures continuous red blossoms and healthy, vibrant foliage.


Do’s and Don’ts for Perry’s Baby Red Hardy Waterlily

✅ Do:

  • Plant in heavy loam soil in a proper aquatic container or earth-bottom pond.

  • Provide full, direct sun for the best flowering results.

  • Divide rhizomes every 1–2 years to prevent overcrowding.

  • Keep roots and stems moist during unpacking and plant immediately upon arrival.

❌ Don’t:

  • Do not use bagged compost soils, pea gravel, or stones — they suffocate or starve the rhizome.

  • Do not overcrowd this lily with floating plants or other lilies — it needs clear surface space for light and flowering.

  • Do not let the plant dry out; hardy waterlilies are sensitive to dehydration when out of water.

  • Do not plant too shallowly; blooms are most attractive when floating naturally on the water’s surface.

Modern, Sturdy, and Perfect for Outdoor Projects
Size: 38"Height × 14" Wide
These metal pipes made fantastic table legs for our outdoor wood table. They have a sleek, modern look that feels high-end. We sprayed them with Rust-Oleum for added protection, and they’ve held up great. Solid, stylish, and functional—highly recommend for any DIY furniture project!

Strong legs, somewhat industrial but trendy also
Size: side table leg
Good legs, some what utilitarian or industrial, they are strong as they are made out of pipe, and assembly is fairly easy once you get the idea of how it goes together. They are roughly 1.5 feet across maybe a bit less adjustable height on each leg, if you have wood floors you may want to put a pad under each leg as they are full metal pipes. Pretty interesting idea and does not cost much.

Pretty good, take your time and install it well
Size: side table leg
Materials are pretty solid, but once assembled it’s not as sturdy as you would think it should be since the material itself was solid, i say give them a chance, everything out there that’s similar is way over priced

Heavy duty legs for table.
Size: side table leg
Perfect legs for a table I am having made. I have an cottonwood slice. It's heavy and needed something substantial. These are perfect.
