Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to repot the lily before planting it?
Do I need to repot the lily before planting it?
No. Neither the 3 litre nor the 10 litre size needs repotting, and the mesh basket can go straight into the pond. The 3 litre size will still benefit from a larger basket later on, though this isn't essential.
Can I buy this lily outside the main growing season?
Can I buy this lily outside the main growing season?
Plants may be available out of season, but they may be supplied cut back rather than in full leaf or flower.
Does this lily need a sunny spot?
Does this lily need a sunny spot?
Yes, it needs full sun to flower well, so position it away from overhanging shade.
How much space does this lily need in my pond?
How much space does this lily need in my pond?
Allow for a planting depth of 50-120 cm and a spread of 80-120 cm so it has room to establish fully.
A free-flowering water lily with pale pink blooms that fade to white at the tips, supplied as a single plant in a mesh aquatic basket ready to place in the pond. It suits ponds with calm, open water and helps establish a strong lily display without needing to be repotted. Available as a 3 litre basket for new plantings or a 10 litre basket for a fuller start.
Nymphaea Marliacea Carnea is a hardy water lily grown for its large, free-flowering blooms, which open pale pink at the base of each petal and lighten towards white at the tips. Housed in its own mesh aquatic basket, it gives pond owners a quick way to add colour and cover to open water through the growing season.
It needs calm water, kept clear of fountain or waterfall spray that could damage the leaves. Once settled, it spreads into a sizeable patch of growth, so it suits ponds with enough open space for a larger-growing lily.
You get one lily plant supplied in its sized mesh aquatic basket, either the 3 litre or 10 litre option depending on which you choose. Neither size needs repotting before planting, so the basket can go straight into the pond; the 3 litre option will still do better if moved into a bigger basket as it grows.
