PLANTING INSTRUCTIONS FOR WATER LILY
There are two main types of water lilies, tropical and hardy. The differences between tropical and hardy water lilies are a growing habit. Tropical water lilies don't do well in winter. Hardy water lilies, on the other hand, can tolerate the cold. Tropical water lilies tubers must be removed from the pond and stored in moist conditions to come back in the future years. In warm climates, they can remain in the pond.

Customers praised these hardy water lilies for arriving healthy with "roots and little tiny leaves" and growing quickly. Shoppers noted "beautiful, elegant flowers" that bloomed well, even indoors. Plants establish fast with lily pads appearing within weeks. One customer mentioned size being "a little small" but healthy. Praised for secure packaging and prompt shipping.
- Tubers arrived healthy with roots and little tiny leaves, got the first bloom, really pretty!
- It's a beautiful, elegant flower, and somehow, I'm lucky enough to get an individual with shuffled petals!
- It looks very good and grows fast. After 2 weeks, it has floating leaves now.

Want to come back submitted another review. I bought my tuber last year Nov. and grew it in my indoor container garden. It bloomed twice! It's a beautiful, elegant flower, and somehow, I'm lucky enough to get an individual with shuffled petals!
Y
Good tuber condition. It looks very good and grows fast. After 2 weeks, it has floating leaves now.

I ordered 3 Nymphaea Colorado water lilly tubers on 5/25, received on 6/2. Tubers arrived healthy with roots and little tiny leaves, I didn't plant them right away because I don't have a pot, soaked them in water for about a week. Planted them early June, they've been doing really well, got the first bloom today, really pretty! Highly recommend this seller.
P
I was very satisfied with my waterlily tubers ; they arrived on time and were packaged very well for protection. All 3 have small leaves coming out the top already .
P

A
Plants looked great upon arrival. Can’t wait to see them grow!
M
I WAS VERY PLEASED HOW SECURE THE PLANTS WERE PACKAGED WITH CARE. I WAS EVEN MORE HAPPY TO SEE ROOTS AND A LILLY PAD GROWING ON THEM. THEY LOOK VERY HEALTHY AND I PLANTED THEM AND LOOKING FORWARD TO SEEING A LOT OF LILLY PADS IN MY POND.
D
Took advantage of sale, eas surprised at the size and health of plants
Plus the shipping was quick
P
A little small (only one leaf), but seems healthy. Maybe why the price was marked down.
S
They arrived in good shape and healthy! These took hold and got established pretty quickly.
N
The plants came quickly and they looked good. I planted them immediately- I hope they grow. This would be an even better review once they get established.
K
I bought these to start indoors early under grow lights before moving them out to the pond as I'm hoping for blooms the first season. They started putting up leaving immediately and are doing well so far. I wish they came with planting instructions but a quick Google solved that. Very happy considering the very reasonable price.
K
This was the 3rd order of water lily plants within one month.

Shipping was prompt. I definitely place more orders in the future.
