What comes with each size?

Does the 1 litre plant need repotting?

Yes. It needs moving into a 3 litre or larger mesh basket before planting, and that larger basket is not included.
Do I need to remove the basket before planting?

It's described as suited to full sun; the information available doesn't cover how it performs in shade.
This yellow-flowering water lily suits ponds that get full sun, giving the water's surface primrose-yellow blooms with golden stamens through most of the summer and into early autumn. It carries the RHS Award of Garden Merit, so you're choosing a recognised performer rather than guessing. You receive one plant already potted in a mesh aquatic basket sized to match the litre option you pick.
Nymphaea Marliacea Chromatella is a water lily grown for its primrose-yellow flowers and mottled olive-green leaves, and it carries the RHS Award of Garden Merit. It's suited to ponds that receive full sun for most of the day, where it helps keep colour on the water's surface right through the flowering season. Each size comes as one plant already potted in a mesh aquatic basket, and the basket doesn't need to be removed before planting. The basket supplied is matched to the litre size you order: the 1 litre, 3 litre and 10 litre options differ in how much, if anything, you need to do before they go in the pond, so check the breakdown below before choosing. The blooms open with bright golden stamens, set against a backdrop of mottled, olive-green foliage that spreads out across the water as the plant establishes. Flowering carries on through most of the summer and into early autumn, giving a long run of colour through the main pond season. Planting depth and spread figures are set out in the specifications table, so you can check it will suit your pond's size before you buy. If you order outside the main growing season, bear in mind the plant may be supplied cut back rather than in full leaf.
