This miniature white lily suits patio pools and other small, shallow water features, giving compact ponds flowering interest without the sprawl of larger varieties. Its slow-spreading habit keeps the display neat, and each plant arrives ready to lower straight into the water in its mesh basket. Available as a 1 litre or 2 litre potted plant, with no repotting needed either way.
Nymphaea Pygmaea Alba is a miniature white water lily, noted as the smallest of the white-flowered varieties, bred for ponds too small for standard lilies.
It suits patio pools, tubs and other compact, shallow water features where a full-size lily would quickly outgrow the space. The plant's slow-spreading growth keeps it in scale with a small pond, so you get flowering cover without constant cutting back.
What you get: one plant supplied in a mesh aquatic basket, either a 1 litre or 2 litre size depending on which you choose. Both sizes are mature enough to go straight into the pond, basket and all, with no repotting required.
What sets it apart is its size: it's the smallest of the white lilies, making it a practical choice for very small ponds and water bowls where standard lilies won't fit.
