Waterlilies not blooming

10 years ago

I have 3 waterlilies which I planted straight into my artificial
pond 10 years ago. They have always produced lots of
flowers till last year. There are plenty of leaves but not tblooms.
Should I give them fertilizer? Since they aren't in pots, I never divided them. They just spread.

Mine haven't bloomed yet and they have been fertilised. You are in the same relative zone that I am and we had a very cool spring. Everything here is about a month behind last year. Do yours need dividing?

weird, I've had probably 6 blooms already. Mine are in pots to. I dont have great filtration though so they thrive off of the pond waste.
