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

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.

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.

Bought June 2023, by March 2026 started seeing the pads!!! Our pond is about 3.5 to 4 feet deep so it took a bit, but they look so great. No flowers yet, but maybe soon.

The tubers and lettuces arrived a little upset from the delivery. The directions are written for people who already know about plants so it is a little confusing for me. Pictures and more clear directions about type of soil and fertilizer, plus depth of water to pot height cold be important to new users. I hope they grow!

I received the tuber in good condition. It was still too cold to put into the pond so I submerged it in water and put on a sunny windowsill. It started sprouting from all around the tuber after a few days, I changed the water every other day. The stems grew out in speared leaves that were about 1.5” long when I put them into pond soil, trying to place the stems on the bottom spread out so it’ll reach upward and placed a fertilizer tab in the soil,placed the pot into the pond Easter weekend. I will update as I see progress in growth through the soil. UPDATE 7/10/2025 The Lily tuber is growing well it has over 30 leaves averaging 4-5” in circumference. There are no flowers yet even though we’ve had consistent temps of high 80’s-90. I haven’t fertilized again. I would buy this again since it did grow well and provides coverage for the fish and is half the price of buying a grown plant at a pond shop.
