Wetplants Hardy Water Lily

Bare-root means the plant is shipped without soil or a pot, which is the standard, safest way to transport dormant aquatic plants. While they may look like simple roots upon arrival, this method encourages the plant to focus its energy on establishing a strong, healthy root system in your pond rather than maintaining existing foliage.

Yes, these are hardy varieties rated for zones 4 through 11. As long as the roots are submerged below the pond's freeze line during winter, they will go dormant and return in the spring.

For best results, place the root system in an aquatic planting basket and submerge it so the crown of the plant is 6 to 18 inches below the water surface. Adjust the depth as the plant grows to ensure the leaves can reach the surface comfortably.

Water lilies are heavy feeders. While they are low-maintenance, inserting an aquatic fertilizer tablet into the soil once a month during the active growing season will significantly improve bloom production and leaf health.

Absolutely. Because they are hardy and manageable, they perform well in smaller setups as long as the container is deep enough to accommodate the root basket and allows for proper water circulation.
