AQUATIC PLANT DETAILS

What's in a Box?

We send our aquatic plants via 2-Day Express Service to ensure that they arrive at your door happy and healthy. Express shipping isn’t cheap, but we know how important it is that your plants reach their destination safe and sound.

We ship all of our plants bareroot. That means they will arrive in no or very little soil, with the roots possibly wrapped in wet paper. They may look a little haggard after their journey, but they will spring to life after you plant them.

Waterlilies often arrive as rhizomes with very little growth on them. This is normal, and you can expect them to start growing soon after planting.

Planting Your Waterlilies

Unpack your plants as soon as they arrive. We recommend monitoring the tracking number to ensure someone is home to receive the package, especially on hot days.

To grow out your lily, you will need a fabric Aquatic Lily Planter and some Aquatic Potting Media. Fill the planter with a generous amount of soil, then place the rhizome in the potting media at a 45 degree angle. The end of the rhizome with growth emerging from it should be about 3/4″ above the soil. Gently press two tabs of Aquatic Plant Fertilizer into the soil near the rhizome to help kickstart growth.

Next, cover the soil with a small amount of gravel to help keep the soil in place. Then gently lower the planter into your pond at an angle, placing it about 3 to 6 inches below the surface. Choose a sunny spot for best results.

You might see a little bit of soil make its way into your pond during the planting process. This is normal and will clear up on its own. If you don’t want to wait for the dirt to settle, try adding Rapid Clear.

Waterlily Care

Waterlilies are extremely easy to care for and are a staple in any backyard garden. Treat them well, and they’ll reward you with beautiful flowers and foliage for years to come.

Fertilizer

Waterlilies are voracious eaters and require lots of nutrients to produce beautiful blooms. Add two tabs of Aquatic Plant Fertilizer once per month during the growing season to maximize flower production. Lilies usually bloom from late spring into late summer, depending on climate.

Maintenance

As your waterlily grows, you can move it into deeper sections of the pond (up to 24 inches). The stems will grow as needed to reach the surface. Mature lilies can also be planted directly in the pond if desired.

Remove yellowing leaves and dead blooms from the plant during the growing season to minimize organic debris in the pond.

Any plant can take over a pond if given the opportunity. Thin out your plants as desired to prevent excessive growth. Never introduce plants to native waterways.

Winter Care

All of our waterlilies are winter hardy to USDA Zone 6 or lower. That means they will survive the winter in most of the US.

You do not need to sink your waterlily in the winter as long as the rhizome is submerged at least 12 inches below the surface of the water.
