Virginalis
Water lily
(Nymphaea Virginalis)

Lilies like still water, they also like to keep their leaves dry, do not place them too close to fountains or other splashing water.

Initially you may want to place the lily on bricks, then gradually lower as the plant stretches towards the surface.

Pruning - Deadhead, removing yellow and brown leaves regularly throughout the growing season.

Koi carp and ducks find them very tasty - so we do not recommend them for Koi ponds unless they can be protected.  

Our 1 litre and 3 litre lilies will arrive in a Finofil aquatic baskets (perfect for allowing nutrients and oxygen to filter through the soil), we recommend re-potting the 1ltr waterlilies into a 3ltr aquatic basket either immediately or after the first season.  

Please note that the 30 litre waterliles weigh over 50kgs.  

Finofil aquatic baskets are made from 100% recycled plastic and manuafactured in the UK.  They can be recycled at your local recycling centre or any kerb side recycling that collects black plastic. Plant labels are recyclable.  

Please note when pre-ordering plants

When ordering multiple plants at the beginning of the season please take note of the 'Normally Available from' in the plant information above.

Your order will be dispatched once all the plants are ready for sale, so it is good idea to order plants within the same month range to avoid delays.

The 'Normally Available From' is a guide only and based on when this plant has been ready for sale in previous seasons.  This is subject to change as our greenhouses are not artificially heated, so we rely on the British weather to be kind to us!

Payment: Please note you will be charged at the point of order for all items, whether they are on pre-order or ready to leave the nursery immediately.
