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.

How many dog toys have you bought that just laid on the floor unused?
Color: Orange
New husky has more energy than an entire pre-school - even being walked more than three miles a day wasn’t sufficient to drain her excess energy. I threw the dice on this - and it’s AWESOME. Comes with an extra rope and an extra side piece. Rechargeable with a USB-C cable. When you turn it on, the blue LEDs flash, the entire device buzzes, bounces, and races back and forth across the floor. After a couple of days of uncertainty, my new husky LOVES this. She chases it around, grabs it by the attached rope and carries it from room to room. After a short bit of activity, the toy goes into ‘sleep’ mode, until either the dog touches it again or a timer has elapsed, and then it fires up and starts buzzing and racing around the floor again. From a full charge, the toy will keep your dog entertained all day. Bright orange color makes it much easier to find when it’s rolled behind the toilet (as it did this afternoon). Sturdy. Highly resistant to chew damage. If this one wears out or breaks, I’ll absolutely get another one.

Puppy interactive toy
Color: Orange, Color: Orange
It’s a great toy as it keeps my 5 month old puppy very entertained! It is pretty hardy and made of good material as she tries to throw it around and chew it. She does swing it around and the hard part will hit her. She doesn’t seem bothered by it tho lol good size and minimum noise When I first introduced her to it she was a little scared but now she gets excited to play with it once it finishes charging.

My Dog Is Obsessed With This Toy!
Color: Orange, Color: Orange
My dog absolutely loves this toy and plays with it every day. The moving and rolling action keeps him entertained much longer than regular toys. He loves chasing it around the house and tugging on the rope. It’s also nice because it helps burn off some of his energy indoors. The material feels pretty sturdy, and charging was easy. Definitely one of the best interactive toys I’ve bought for my dog!

Waste of Money
Color: Orange
Cool toy but my dog ate through it the second day he played with it. It is not for strong dogs. No durability. I had to throw away the orange covers and now he just throws it around.

Cool toy. Fun for all
Color: Blue
A cool toy. entertainment for the dogs but more so for the dog parents to watch the dogs reaction. Comes with an additional rope just in case, which I loved. Only side note I would say is that the fast mood could be a little faster. My Golden retriever figured out the speed in less than 24 hours and now picks up the toy to try to chew it up, instead of chasing. With him attempting to chew on the toy in the small time I give him, there are no teeth marks yet…this toy appears to be durable. We play in short increments but enjoy the toy.
