Midnight Velvet Annual Water Lily — One of the Darkest Purple Lily We’ve Ever Seen (& Very Rare!)

Midnight Velvet is a breathtaking annual water lily (Australian-type) hybridized in Thailand at Buafah Gardens. The blooms are rich, deep, true purple with a glowing yellow center of stamens—and the color stays purple throughout the entire bloom cycle. This is one of the darkest purple water lilies you can grow, and it’s absolutely magnificent in a sunny pond.

Important: Midnight Velvet is not for beginners. Australian-type annual water lilies need very warm water, full sun, and heavy feeding to start and thrive. The payoff is enormous—show-quality flowers that look like velvet on the water.


Why Customers Want Midnight Velvet

  • One of the darkest purple water lilies available (stays purple, no fading)

  • Big, showy blooms with a bright yellow center

  • Rare collector plant — we only have a handful available

  • A true centerpiece among premium pond plants


Plant Requirements (quick reference)

  • Type: Annual water lily (Australian-type), warm-water specialist

  • Sun: Full sun, 6+ hours of strong midday light

  • Water temperature: Prefers 80°F water for best growth and flowering

  • Container: 3–7 gallon wide, shallow aquatic pot (fabric pots preferred)

  • Depth (soil surface → water surface): 12"+ is needed to sprout/activate tubers and establish well

  • Spread: 5–12 ft depending on pot size, feeding, and warmth

  • Soil: Heavy loam topsoil (or PondGro Aquatic Loam Soil).

    No bagged potting mix, compost, peat, gravel, or stones.


Bloom Details (what you’re buying)

  • Flower size: Generally 5–8 inches across (depends on plant size)

  • Flower height: Often held 8–14 inches above the water

  • Bloom cycle: Each flower can last 3–4 days

  • Color: Deep dark purple with a bright yellow center; stays purple through the bloom cycle


Fertilizer Schedule (heavy feeder)

Australian-type annual water lilies need about 2× the fertilizer of typical annual water lilies.

  • Fertilizer tablets: Feed at least twice monthly (1st & 15th) during the growing season

  • Start with 6–8 tablets per feeding once actively growing (adjust as the plant increases in size)

  • Push tablets 3–4 inches into the soil around (not on) the crown


Water Lily Planting Tips

  • Start in the warmest, sunniest part of the pond (warm water matters as much as sunlight)

  • Give it a wide pot—more room = stronger plant = bigger flowers

  • Keep surface water open; pads are solar panels for blooms

  • Expect a slower start in spring—this is normal for Australian-type annual water lilies


Do’s & Don’ts

Do

  • Plant in full sun and very warm water

  • Use heavy loam and a 3–7 gallon container

  • Fertilize heavily and consistently (this is the key to success)

  • Plant immediately on arrival and keep all parts wet

Don’t

  • ❌ Don’t start in cool water—this lily may stall or fail to establish

  • ❌ Don’t underfeed (this variety needs heavy nutrition to perform)

  • ❌ Don’t use gravel/stones on top of soil or bagged potting mixes with compost

  • ❌ Don’t crowd with floaters—shade reduces growth and flowering fast


Shipping Information

  • Shipping Window: Summer shipping (annual water lilies ship when weather and water temps are warm enough for success)

  • Timing: Orders may be held until Midnight Velvet is ready and safe to ship

  • Weekly Shipments: Once summer shipping is active, we ship weekly through the season (usually until or through September)

  • Method: 2–3 day service (usually UPS); occasionally USPS/FedEx depending on destination

A special book, nothing else like it
Format: Paperback
I'm a fan. I had the earlier edition of this book but gave it up along with the rest of my large library when I relocated. It was one of maybe 3 books in my collection that I really longed to have back. So I was happy to discover this new edition and buy it. The author is one of a kind. Nature seems to have gone out of Her way to reveal secrets to him so he could inform people like me; and so intelligently and sensitively that he is listened to and respected by at least part of the establishment--he even is part of the establishment--for talking to nature and communicating about it. His drawings of the intelligent energies of plants, trees, etc. are perfect - along with everything else he happens to be an accomplished artist. (If you want, you can find his art online and see him speaking on YouTube--I have sort of a crush on him now.) I try to communicate with nature like he does, and I'm still hoping, but he is a rare special person who could receive this gift and put it across for humanity. And help awaken us. Thank you, Marko. Call me anytime . . . .

Fabulous!
Format: Paperback
This book is fabulous! It gives a depth to the world beyond what we see. It shows oneness and creative life behind our visual world. The author is a sensitive soul who takes me to the world of living Beings beyond our sight and their beautiful actions that enhance our world. It shows how we must become sensitive and considerate to the life of plants and things of the earth in order to nuture our earthly home.

Absolutely love this book
Format: Paperback
Absolutely love this book! Echoes a lot of my experiences. if you're at all interested in working with nature spirits, I would highly suggest this book! He offers a very in depth account of his experiences and since this is the second edition, he also includes how differently he feels or sees some of the things he originally wrote.
