There are several excellent books we use for resource information, two of the books we highly recommend are Encyclopedia of Water Gardensby Greg Speichert and Sue Speichert and the other book is Waterlilies and Lotuses by Perry D. Slocum. We hope you can curl up in a chair or hammock beside your pond or water garden and enjoy these excellent resource books.
There are so many subjects you can learn about regarding water lilies, lotuses, species and cultivars, habitats and zones and hardiness. You can learn about the hybridizing of some of your favorite lilies and lotus. Learn about the Tropicals, day and night bloomers and other genera in the water lily family.
Learn about hundreds of water garden plants, from submerged, floating to marginals along with information about planting, potting, pots, soils, fertilizers, propagation, pests and plant diseases. Bloom times, hardiness, growth and habitat are all discussed. These books will become great resources for years to come.
You can order these books at Amazon.com or Call Pond Megastore and add them to any plant, fish, or product you might already be ordering. 330-488-2115












Slocum was very important in developing the current selection of water lilies and lotus. He has a good amount of detail in Water Lilies and lotus, I use it before ordering each spring, our library has a copy.
