Good bloomer and grower. Full sun

You MUST fertilize sufficiently with pond tabs for best results. Use only non-burning fertilizer.
Young water lilies need a lot of sun. Clear shallow water provides the greatest amount of light.
Always start lilies as close to the surface as possible. A few inches under water is perfect.
Then as the pads spread widely, begin dropping the pot lower, keeping all pads on the water surface.
We grow ours with just enough water over the pots to allow the pads to always lay flat on the surface.
Try this, you will be very happy with the results..
This plant will flower in the first season with sufficient sun and proper fertilization.

We recommend immediate re-positioning into a bucket filled with water, in light shade, until the plant(s) can be conveniently prepared for your water garden.

You will receive a well rooted, young plant that is already developing lily pads.
This sale is for ONE yearling lily plant
