Detective Erika Hardy Purple Water Lily – The One Purple Lily You Must Own

Detective Erika Hardy Water Lily is an extraordinary cross between a hardy water lily and a tropical purple water lily. Unlike earlier purple hybrids, this award-winning lily from hybridizer Zijun Li produces intensely vivid purple flowers with golden centers that bloom all summer long. The blooms are bold, full, and striking—without the hooded petals or leggy habits found in older purple cultivars. This is the purple hardy lily collectors and hobbyists have been waiting for!


Special Planting & Shipping Conditions

Detective Erika is winter-hardy, but because of its tropical parentage, it emerges later in the spring than normal hardy lilies. This means:

  • Do not plant too early. Detective Erika requires warm water (around 70°F at root level) to break dormancy. In many central and northern climates, this may not ship until late May or June 1st and will cause orders of other plants to be held until its proper for all items on the order. 

  • Shipping protocol: We do not ship before late May. Orders containing Detective Erika will be delayed until your region has consistent afternoon highs in the 80s and night temps in the 50s.

  • Separate orders option: If you want other plants earlier, place a second order. We cannot make exceptions or ship Detective Erika early.

  • Dormancy risk: If planted in cold water, Detective Erika will abort its leaves and revert to dormancy. Please wait for proper water temps.

👉 Patience pays off: This lily is worth the wait, and once planted in warm conditions, Detective Erika quickly becomes a massive bloomer with a truly tropical look.


Detective Erika Hardy Water Lily Planting Instructions

  • Container: Use a wide 16-inch x 7-inch container (or larger) to support the vigorous root system.

  • Soil: Heavy loam soil only—never bagged compost mixes.

  • Depth (from soil to water surface): 5–15 inches. Keep shallow for best blooming.

  • Sunlight: Minimum of 6 hours, ideally full, strong midday sun.

  • Fertilizer: Insert 4–6 Waterlily World Fertilizer Tabs every two weeks during the growing season (April–September). Push tabs 3–4 inches deep near the crown.

  • Overwintering: This hardy ISG lily will survive cold winters once established, but always plant when water temps are warm in spring.


Do’s and Don’ts for Detective Erika Hardy Water Lily

✅ Do:

  • Plant only when water temps reach 70°F at root level.

  • Use a large, wide pot with heavy loam soil.

  • Place in shallow water (5–15 inches) for best bloom production.

  • Provide full sun—at least 6 hours daily.

  • Divide every 1–2 years to maintain flowering.

❌ Don’t:

  • Do not request early shipping—we cannot send before your water temps are ready.

  • Do not let the plant dry out upon arrival—pot immediately.

  • Do not cover the crown with stones or gravel.

  • Do not overcrowd or allow floating plants to shade Detective Erika—this lily needs open surface and sunlight to thrive.

  • Do not place in cold spring water—this leads to immediate dormancy and delays blooming.

My Favorite Camino Read To Date
Format: Kindle
I have read dozens of Camino retellings. This, by Brad Chermside, is my most enjoyed. Brad is an excellent writer with no fear of exposing his insecurities and weaknesses, physical or social. His many metaphors are original and laugh-out-loud funny. He used several interesting writing techniques to keep me in suspense. The most effective being, from the start of the narrative, finding out if when he met the never met mystery woman, who was the catalyst for him beginning his journey, and he would click. It was eventually answered. Highly recommend the book. Hat's off to Mr Chermside on an excellent read.

Camino memories relived
Format: Paperback
I returned from my first Camino trip and I was wanting to stay in touch with everything related to the Camino - the friends I made there, movies on YouTube, and podcasts. It was from the podcast that I learned about Brad. He has been a constant companion to me, as I went through my own Camino 'withdrawl.' Luckily for me, after a couple of weeks from been back from the Camino, I am already able to schedule my next one. Brad's book brought back all the memories, and he put into great narrative and humor all the amazing and magical things that happen during the Camino, including also the challenges, the crying and the laughing. I am very grateful for this book.

Soccer, Songs and Sex
Format: Paperback
Heading to the Camino myself....I've been reading other accounts of it, more so since my plans have had to be put on hold due to COVID19. I purchased a pile of recommendations from others on a social media site, sat up one night, researching the favorites of others. My list only had those that had humor! Brad's book has humor and I love that he, being a songwriter, utilized his talent for putting sentences together, creating a canvas of texture with descriptions, which kept me turning pages. I loved reading about his self discovery, his growth through his business, family life, athletic life, social life, and finding a balance eventually, although the reader can certainly see he teetered A LOT! The downside was that he felt it important to share the sexual experiences, of others and himself. TMI, as a generation behind me would say. It wasn't needed. His adventure was fabulous without it. If Brad ever did a rewrite, I would suggest he leave that out so more age groups could be inspired by his journey! It won't be the first book I'd recommend if anyone asked me what to read about Camino adventures, but I won't say not to read it if it comes up in conversation.
