Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to repot the 3 litre lily when it arrives?
Do I need to repot the 3 litre lily when it arrives?
No. The 3 litre plant is grown on to go straight into the pond. You can move it into a larger basket later if you want to encourage more vigorous growth.
How deep should I plant Nymphaea Sioux?
How deep should I plant Nymphaea Sioux?
Plant it at a depth of 30-80 cm, lowering the basket in gradually over a few days so the leaves can reach the surface.
Will the flowers stay the same colour all season?
Will the flowers stay the same colour all season?
No. The flowers open soft yellow and mature to a reddish-copper, so the colour changes as each bloom develops.
How much space will it need in the pond?
How much space will it need in the pond?
It spreads to around 50-90 cm, so leave enough room around it to avoid crowding neighbouring plants.
Can I buy this outside the main flowering season?
Can I buy this outside the main flowering season?
Plants may still be available out of season, but they may be supplied cut back rather than in full leaf.
This 3 litre potted water lily is ready to lower straight into the pond, no repotting needed before it settles in. Its blooms open soft yellow and deepen to a reddish-copper as they mature, giving the pond surface a changing look through the flowering season rather than one fixed shade. Suited to open, full-sun ponds where the surrounding green foliage can spread and frame each flower.
Nymphaea Sioux is a water lily grown for its colour-changing blooms, opening soft yellow before deepening to a reddish-copper as each flower matures. That shift gives the pond a different look as the season goes on, rather than a single static colour sitting on the surface all summer. Green foliage spreads around the flowers, adding cover across the water.
It's suited to pond owners after a lily that doesn't need repotting straight away, since the 3 litre plant is grown on to a size that can go straight into the basket at planting depth. It needs an open, full-sun position to flower well, so it suits ponds without heavy overhead shade. Growth is medium-paced, which helps keep its spread manageable rather than it filling the pond quickly.
