Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to repot the plant when it arrives?
Do I need to repot the plant when it arrives?
It depends on the size you order. The 1 litre plant needs potting into a 3 litre or larger mesh basket. The 3 litre plant doesn't need repotting but will benefit from a larger basket over time. The 10 litre plant needs no repotting at all.
Why might the flowers look pale pink rather than deep red?
Why might the flowers look pale pink rather than deep red?
Newly planted lilies can open whitish-pink blooms at first. The colour deepens to the full rose-red flecked with white once the plant is properly established.
Can I plant this near a fountain or waterfall?
Can I plant this near a fountain or waterfall?
It's best avoided. This lily should go in still water away from splashing fountains or other moving water, which can affect the leaves and flowers.
Is the plant available all year round?
Is the plant available all year round?
Out of season, plants may still be available, but they may be supplied cut back rather than in full leaf.
Do I need to remove the mesh basket before planting?
Do I need to remove the mesh basket before planting?
No. The mesh aquatic basket the plant is supplied in goes straight into the pond with the plant still in it.
A free-flowering water lily that gives a pond deep rose-red blooms flecked with white right through the summer. It helps bring colour and surface interest to a calm, sunny pond with relatively little upkeep once settled in. You get one live plant, already potted into its own mesh aquatic basket, in a size to suit how established you want it when it arrives.
Nymphaea Attraction is a water lily grown for its reliable, free-flowering habit and its deep rose-red blooms flecked with white, a colour combination that sets it apart from plainer single-tone varieties. Newly planted specimens can open a softer whitish-pink to begin with, deepening to the full colour as the roots establish.
This lily does best in a calm, undisturbed part of the pond, which helps protect the pads and flowers from damage and supports steady flowering through the season. It keeps producing new blooms as older leaves and flowers are removed, rather than flowering in one short burst.
You get one live plant, supplied already potted into a mesh aquatic basket matched to the size you order: 1 litre, 3 litre or 10 litre. The basket is pond-ready and goes into the water as it is, with no need to remove it first.
What sets this variety apart is the combination of strong flowering and a vigorous habit, so it builds good surface coverage over a season rather than staying sparse. The three pot sizes contain the same plant; the difference is how established it already is and how much repotting, if any, you will need to do yourself.
