Why Are Waterlilies Important in a Pond?
Waterlilies are important because they provide shade, improve water quality and support pond wildlife. Their floating leaves help reduce sunlight entering the water, keeping ponds cooler in summer and limiting algae growth.
Waterlilies also create valuable resting spots for frogs, birds and insects, while offering shelter for fish below the surface. As pollinator-friendly pond plants, flowering waterlilies attract bees and other beneficial insects throughout the summer.
With over 40 varieties of waterlilies available, including miniature, medium and large-growing types, there is a suitable waterlily for every pond - from small container ponds to larger lakes.
