  • Because water lilies are heavy feeders consequently they benefit from a slow release fertilizer. Specially prepared for aquatic plants such as Growth Balls which can simply be pushed into the soil.
  • We ship all water lilies bare root. This means that we wash the soil off before packing the plants. During the summer months we may need to trim some of the foliage back for shipping.
