Water Lily Plant

The Water Lily perennial is among the most distinctive and recognizable plants. It is widely known as an aquatic plant that floats effortlessly on the surface, adorning garden ponds and lakes with color. The large flowers are solitary, just one per plant, and have a strong, pleasant fragrance that attracts helpful insects. The flowers visibly open their petals in the morning and close them at night, which has led to their significance as a symbol of rebirth and renewal.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are water lilies easy to grow?

Yes, water lilies are very easy to grow when planted in still or slow-moving water with plenty of sunlight. They thrive in ponds or containers with at least six hours of direct light daily. Once established, they bloom beautifully all summer with little maintenance.
Do water lilies multiply on their own?

Yes, water lilies multiply naturally by spreading rhizomes beneath the soil at the bottom of the pond. Over time, they form new plants that expand into larger, lush clusters. This steady growth creates a fuller display of floating leaves and blooms each season.
How deep should a pond be for water lilies?

A pond for water lilies should be about 12 to 24 inches deep for most varieties. Hardy types can grow in slightly deeper water, while tropical ones prefer the shallower end. This depth allows their roots to anchor securely while leaves and flowers float beautifully on the surface.

Red Maple

I had doubts when I first opened the box. Packaged well. After planting them after two weeks they came to life and are flourishing quite well. They are very healthy and now branching out vividly. Thank you!

Giant Chicory!

I purchased a selection of blue plants. I planted the bare roots in a large planter I call the nursery. I wait until they are adapting to their new environment. When they start growing about three inches, I transplant to a larger pot, then to their permanent location in my garden. One grew to four feet. Others are 1- 2 feet! I can see buds sprouting and can’t wait until they bloom. I did have to cut the 4ft one down to 2 ft so it would get fuller.

My favorite spring flower

My absolute favorite spring flower. I’ve bought several over the years. Sometimes I’ve found they might not come up until the second year but most from this nursery come in the next spring.

I just want to say I would give 5 star satisfaction but my trees are just now in the ground. My shipment arrived fast and in great condition. The bare root trees already trimmed to perfection. I am so pleased. Been in the ground a week and already have green growth.
