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

  • Schedule: Ships early in the week; tracking emailed on ship day

Shipped as: a live young adult plant (rhizome with leaves/lilypads). Plant immediately in heavy loam soil at the recommended depth. Water lilies dry out quickly if exposed to air.

Backrest does not adjust in and out
Color: Black
Very comfortable but I wish the back rest was adjustable. It’s too far back to offer any support.

Excellent value for money!

I absolutely love this office chair! I needed a chair that could support my standing desk without sacrificing comfort, and this one completely exceeded my expectations. It's incredibly sturdy and durable, well-made, and the height adjustment is super convenient, making it easy to find the perfect fit. Even during long hours of work, the seat is comfortable, and the ergonomic design effectively reduces pressure on my back and legs. I love its clean, modern look—it fits my home office perfectly. Assembly was quick and easy, and for this price, the quality is absolutely fantastic!

Perfect chair!
Size: 934-Z, Color: Blue, Size: 934-Z, Color: Blue
I have an adjustable-height desk (also purchased from Amazon) and needed a drafting chair for those times when my body gets tired of standing. This chair fits the bill and then some! I put it together myself; it took me about an hour, but would take me about half that next time, since now I know what to do (and what NOT to do!). All the parts were there; there are even spare parts (see photo). All the holes were drilled in exactly the right places, too, which isn't always the case when I buy things from Amazon (my standing desk is a great example). The chair fits me; I'm short (5'3.5"), and often the seats of furniture are too deep for me to rest my feet flat on the floor. The depth of the seat on this chair is just a little over 18 inches, and with the adjustable footrest ring, it's perfect. I don't think a tall or heavy person would fit in it, to be honest. But it's perfect for those of us who are vertically challenged. I love that it glides easily on my hardwood floors and that it turns 360 degrees. The chair comes in numerous luscious colors, so take your pick! It is very sturdy, has good lumbar support, and the seat and seat back are very comfortable. And the arms flip up, which was an absolute must when I was shopping for this chair. I got it on sale, too -- $109.00 -- and I'm delighted with this purchase.

Excellent chair design, extremely comfortable and exceptionally easy instructions to follow making for simple assembly. Love the amply wide cushioned seat and ergonomic backrest. The height adjustment feature works perfectly as well as positioning of the foot ring . Having the ability to raise the arms is also a big plus! I highly recommend this product for attractive appearance, comfort features, functionality and operation. Really nice chair!
