Live Water Lilies Rhizomes (Tubers) | Pre-Grown Hardy Lilies in White, Red, Yellow, Pink (Purple)

Planted about three or four weeks ago in my outdoor goldfish pond and this week three lily pads have sprouted at the top. Super excited. They look great so far.

The lillies are not grown...it is a small tube-like piece of dirt with seeds. Description on Amazon was very deceiving. Paid $38 for 2. Definitely not worth the money. Very disappointed.

Received 4 tubers in a sealed bag with air that kept the moisture in and they were all firm (no slime or soft spots) although all leaves were busted up. I put them in a container of water until planting (was waiting on aquatic media & fertilizer to arrive). The tuber sizes varied (3-5" length, 0.5-1" crown width) but all were alive. One tip I learned is to use sand to cover the dirt or just put a rock on the non-growing end of the tuber (as pea gravel can actually end up killing the growth whereas with sand it will push through). There's about 5" water covering the lilies and they are getting about 4-5 hours of sun. Where I live, it's still 85-90F in Sep and Oct I got these on Monday, planted on Tuesday. By Friday, one tuber had a lily pad on top of the water while the rest had 2-4 leaves growing at the crown. In regards to all the negative reviews: The posting & description is accurate as both say it's a tuber/rhizome you're getting. The photo is just so you know what the flower will look like. Thank you to the folks that posted pix of their flowers blooming confirming the photos in the listing are what you get as a final result. Ironically it was 2 star review that showed a nice clear photo of the tuber with green leaves/growth that convinced me to buy (as well as the return/refund policy adheres to amazon's at this time of writing and someone saying customer service was great if you had to contact them). For me the price was worth it, I would buy again. The local nursery rarely has stock but if they do, a fully grown lily is $25 each. My neighbor spent $45 at HomeDepot for a lily that looked like the orange one here. Update with photos: 1st is 3 days after planting 2nd is 2 weeks 3rd and 4th is 1 mo. So many lily pads it over crowded my bowl and ended up putting 2 lilies into my lotus pond. Divided one tuber since it had so many crowns. So now I have 5 plants. Note: Some of the leaves got torn from the rain water falling off from my roof.

I like this lily. It hasn't bloomed flowers yet but I kept it inside for a few weeks (its been 1 month total) by a southeast window and it has sprouted 7 leaves. So far so good.

Never bloomed

Great plant, it just took awhile to get established and start blooming. Perfect size for our tiny outdoor water feature (40 gal). Year 1: leaves, no blooms. Year 2: lots of healthy leaves, large healthy root, one bloom. We divided the root into two plants which both thrived. Year 3: lots of leaves and blooms, generally one flower at a time.

I ordered 2 lily's from this company. One was red, the other purple. When they arrived, the one was pure mush. the other one is soft. Immediately planted it. Nothing has been happening and it may be dead too. Trying to contact company, but have not heard back from them. 6/16/26Made contact with company. They reimbursed me for the dead and mushy tuber. The other one may be starting to show a bit of green growth

I will definitely purchase from this seller next year for more lilies. I’ve ordered from this seller twice. Each time the rhizome came a day earlier than expected. But I’m in Phoenix, Az and in May it was already above 100 degrees. It came a day early and accidentally sat in the hot hot mailbox for too long. It looked fantastic with lots of growth and leaves, but unfortunately I think the heat was the problem and it did not survive. I contacted the seller, unsure if it was dead or if I should give it more time to rebound. The seller said he would send another at no charge. I didn’t feel like it was the sellers fault, as the rhizome he mailed looked so healthy. So, I purchased the next one with my own money. I stalked the shipping progress knowing it could arrive early and I didn’t want it sitting in the mailbox. It arrived early and I put it in the cool pond immediately while I got the planting supplies ready. I can’t believe how quickly the leaves grow to reach the surface. This lily has continued to keep putting out leaves all summer. My pond gets mostly shade all day so no flowers, but that’s to be expected and I’m ok with that. I wanted the lily, not for the flowers, but so the bees had a safe place to land to drink water. But considering it gets shade for 99% of the day, it has big gorgeous leaves and hasn’t stopped producing all summer.
