Purple Lucent™ is a true showstopper—an ISG water lily that commands attention from the moment its first bloom opens. Its iridescent petals seem to glow in the sunlight, shifting in tone and intensity depending on the angle of light and the viewer's perspective. Held proudly above the water's surface, the elegant flowers create a dramatic display that is both striking and unforgettable.

Wonderfully fragrant and remarkably free-flowering, Purple Lucent™ is one of the most prolific ISG lilies available today. Its compact root system allows it to thrive in smaller containers without becoming overcrowded, making it an excellent choice for patio tub gardens, container ponds, and larger water gardens alike.

Combining extraordinary beauty, fragrance, and reliable performance, Purple Lucent™ appeals equally to beginning water gardeners and serious collectors. Once established, it rewards growers with an abundance of blooms throughout the growing season.

Best Growing Results

• Best suited for USDA Zones 6 and warmer, though many growers have successfully overwintered it in Zones 4–5 with proper protection and care.

• Because the flowers open early in the morning, provide early-day sunlight whenever possible. In hotter climates, afternoon shade can help maintain peak flower quality.

• Adaptable to a wide range of planting depths, performing well in 6–20 inches of water from the soil surface to the water surface.

• Plant in the center of the container. Young plants produce multiple offsets in all directions from a clustered tuber, creating a compact, full-growing habit. As the plant matures, it gradually transitions into a more traditional running rhizome growth pattern.
