Frequently Asked Questions
Does the plant come already potted?
Does the plant come already potted?
Yes, each plant is supplied already growing in a mesh aquatic basket, either 1 litre or 3 litre depending on the size you choose.
Do I need to repot the 1 litre size?
Do I need to repot the 1 litre size?
For the best growth, yes. Move it into a 3 litre or larger mesh basket before long; that larger basket isn't included. The 3 litre size doesn't need repotting.
How deep should I plant it?
How deep should I plant it?
Lower the basket gradually over the first few days so the leaves can stretch up to the surface, aiming for a planting depth within the range given in the specifications.
Can I buy it outside the main flowering season?
Can I buy it outside the main flowering season?
Plants may be available out of season, but they may be supplied cut back at that time of year.
This tuberous water lily carries purple-mottled leaves and pale yellow flowers that sit above the waterline, suited to open, sunny spots in the pond. It keeps colour on the surface for a good stretch of the growing season once settled in. You receive one plant already growing in a mesh aquatic basket, ready to go into the water. It's offered in 1 litre and 3 litre basket sizes, so you can pick a smaller starter plant or something more established.
Nymphaea Odorata Sulphurea is a tuberous-rooted water lily grown for its purple-mottled leaves and large, pale yellow flowers. It suits pond owners looking for a lily to sit in an open, sunny spot rather than a shaded corner, and it keeps colour on the water's surface for a good stretch of the growing season.
What you get: a single plant, already growing in a mesh aquatic basket, ready to lower into the pond. It's offered in a 1 litre basket or a 3 litre basket, so you can choose the stage of growth that suits your pond.
What sets it apart is the pairing of mottled foliage with soft, pale yellow flowers sitting above the waterline. If you choose the 1 litre option, plan on moving the plant into a 3 litre or larger mesh basket before long, since that larger basket isn't included. The 3 litre plant is ready to go in as supplied, with no repotting needed, though it will still do well in an even larger basket if you have one to hand.
