  All water lily rhizomes are shipped bare root this means the plant is shipped with most pads removed for easier shipping. However some may have blooms still attached this time of year too! Planting Directions can be found below and several links are also posted.The water lily's here are mature plants unless otherwise stated.They will be plants that are at least 1 year old. They will still have leaves and will produce flowers within 2 years of planting. Mature rhizomes do vary in size according to the type of lily it is as well.

  I have had most of these lilies in my ponds for 20+ years!

  Important water lily care...these will die if they are not planted correctly. Hardy lilies grow horizontally and best to plant at a 45 degree angle against the edge of a pot pointing bud tip towards center. Lilies have to be potted or planted in pond bottom. If left to float on top of water they will get too hot and die. If the rooting tip is not left exposed from pot soil it will rot and die. You know the rhizome is dead if you cut into it and there is no longer a white color to it, if it is black it is dead.

  Lilies will die back at the first frost. They will die if the rhizome freezes so be sure it is below the freeze point in your pond.First of Spring when water temps rise they will send up new shoots and start all over again.click below for a great link to waterlilies.
