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