Yes, it tolerates flowing water. In fast currents, anchor the basket well, and be aware the leaves may stay under the surface rather than floating, due to the flow.
How deep should I plant it?

A native deep water plant that keeps growing and flowering in heavy shade or flowing water, giving pond owners a reliable option where many other plants struggle. Supplied as a 1 litre potted plant in its mesh basket, ready to go straight into the pond without repotting.
Nuphar lutea is a native deep water pond plant that keeps flowering and growing in heavy shade and moving water, conditions that often stop other deepwater plants establishing. It suits ponds with shaded margins, a slow or fast-flowing watercourse, or planting schemes built around native, wildlife-friendly species. For anyone wanting reliable colour and cover in these harder planting conditions, it offers a practical option.
You receive one Nuphar lutea plant supplied in its 1 litre mesh basket, already potted and ready to lower straight into the pond margin or deep zone. There's no need to remove the basket or repot it before planting.
What sets it apart from many other deepwater plants is how well it copes with shade and current, plus how quickly it settles in once planted, so it can establish ahead of slower species in the same conditions. Through the summer flowering period it adds colour to the deep zone of the pond, with flowers that sit at or just above the water's surface.
