Know before you buy
Bare root means the plant is shipped without a pot or soil, with its roots exposed. You will need to plant it in an aquatic basket with heavy garden soil or specialized pond planting media upon arrival.
This variety is a vigorous grower that reaches a mature spread of 4 to 5.5 feet. Ensure your pond has enough open surface area to accommodate this size, as it will provide significant shade and coverage.
This specific variety is rated for USDA Zones 9-11. If you live in a colder climate, you will need to overwinter the plant indoors or in a protected area, as it is not frost-hardy.
No CO2 is required for this pond plant. To encourage the best blooms, we recommend using aquatic fertilizer tablets pushed into the soil at the base of the plant during the growing season.
This lily thrives in high light conditions. For the best flower production and healthy bronze-green foliage, place it in a spot that receives at least 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight daily.
