Growing to around 10cm tall (above water) x 150cm wide, this fully hardy lily flowers will fill your pond with blooms from June to September.

A popular waterlily, Nymphaea carnea produces showy, vanilla-scented, semi-double, pale pink flowers with golden-yellow centres from June to September. Often, in the first year, it will also produce white flowers.

An excellent choice for a wildlife pond, when fully established, this water lily provides shade and shelter for fish and other aquatic wildlife. Additionally, the plants will help reduce the occurrence of blooms of algae, supressing blanket weed and other pond nasties, while at the same time improving the oxygen content.

Kit includes a pink water lily (Nymphaea carnea), planting basket, top quality aquatic soil and decorative gravel.

Top Tips

Water lilies flourish in still water, so do not plant them near a pond pump or fountain.

As these Lilies are dry-packed, young plants, they need starting off gently. Initially, place the filled baskets on a shallow shelf of the pond, where only the top of the plant is at the water line, and allow it to establish.
Alternatively, set them up submerged in a decorative pot or planter on your decking or patio to start, then, when established, move them into the pond.

Care Information
  • The mesh container is specially designed to allow water to circulate through the compost, providing the plants with both oxygen and nutrients.
  • To plant up, add 1/3 of the soil to the basket and place the lily on top, spreading its roots. Add the rest of the soil and the gravel on top.
  • After potting and once established, all you need to do is to place the pot into a pond. Initially the pot should be placed on a stack of bricks so the leaves float on the surface of the water.
  • As the plant matures, remove one layer of bricks at a time, gradually lowering the plant into the pond until the desired depth has been reached.
  • Water lilies require sun to grow, blooming when water temperatures reach 15C (60°F), so best positioned in full sun.
  • Depth of the water should not be less than 60cm (2ft) nor more than 120cm (4ft).
  • Feed in spring and summer, removing yellow leaves and spent flowers regularly to maintain blooming.
Delivery Information

Please allow us 3-5 working days to dispatch your order. Pre-ordered items will be sent as soon as possible after the date quoted and we'll generally ship your entire order with your pre-ordered items. When your order is dispatched, we'll send you another email with details of how to track it.

Most orders are sent on a fully-tracked courier service with Yodel. To avoid perishable items being stuck at depots and deteriorating, no signature is required, and our courier is asked to leave your order in a safe place on your property.

We'll send a tracking link when we dispatch your order, so you know when its due to arrive. Please note, once delivered we cannot be held responsible for loss or theft from your property. If you have any specific delivery instructions, please let us know - there's an option to enter a short message for the courier at the checkout.

Smaller, lighter, single-item orders may be sent through the post with Royal Mail - in which case no tracking is available.

Our experienced nursery team will always send your plants nursery fresh in the perfect condition to thrive when you plant them, so although most plants are very tough and will not be affected by all but the most extreme frosts or heatwaves, we avoid dispatching the most perishable plants if extreme weather is forecast, or over Bank Holiday weekends.

Please note, we cannot guarantee delivery on a certain day or time. Delivery to outlying postcode areas may take 1-2 days longer, dependent on your location.
