Each tuber arrives healthy and pest-free, cultivated in a state-of-the-art digital nursery. These perennial lilies naturally oxygenate and filter water, enhancing pond ecosystems while providing stunning seasonal blooms. Easy to plant and maintain, they thrive in full sun and adapt to container or pond environments, promising years of tranquil beauty. ## Description Our pre-rooted Hardy Water Lilies Rhizomes are extremely easy to grow to maturity in ponds or deck and patio containers. Important things to remember: Place the tubers at a 45° angle with the non-growing end against the side of the pot and the crown(where the leaves come out) towards the middle of the pot. Add fertilizer for water lilies. Lilies are heavy feeders and should be fertilized regularly. Press the soil around the roots, being careful not to cover the crown of the plant. They should be placed at a water depth of 6" to 12". When placing lilies in the pond, position them away from waterfalls and fountains as they prefer still water. Review: Tubers alive and growing! Totally worth the money! - 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 desertcart'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. Review: Did not grow. Maybe next year? - Not happy with purchase. This went into a very established pond. I have several other aquatic plants that are thriving in this pond. I planted this lily just as instructions said. It only ever grew about one inch at most and now the temperature is dropping with the cold nights here so I'm assuming it's now gone dormant or it's dead. I will find out next year when it warms up but I suspect it's dead. Would not buy another and would also not recommend to anyone. I'll stick with buying locally from now on. ## Features - Plant and Grow - All lilies are pre-grown, just plant in a container and watch them grow! - Helps create a natural bio-filter - Aquatic plants will produce oxygen and absorb carbon dioxide to enhance water quality in your pond or patio garden - You will receive 1 Lily Rhizome (Tuber) with this offer.

It did well for this first year, I had a few dozen lily pads and 2 blooms. Currently, our pond is frozen. I’m sure it will be back this spring/summer season. I have planted lily rhizomes before and they take off and multiply for years. My pond does not have wild water lilies. **Q: Will these grow in a tank, if so, how do i transplant** A: Don't think they would grow in a tank but mine didn't grow at all. **Q: when initially planting the tubular, is the entire plant underwater?** A: Yes, i have planted both my water lilies tuber completely submerged in water. They do fine and grow fast. **Q: Can you plant these in November** A: If you have a good tuber I think you could plant it anytime but in Nov. you won't see any growth until next spring. I didn't get a good yellow Tuber and it never grew. Also got a white and it bloomed all summer and grow fine. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Tubers alive and growing!

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. ## Frequently Bought Together - Live Water Lilies Rhizomes (Tubers) | Pre-Grown Hardy Lilies in White, Red, Yellow, Pink (Purple) - Golden Water Poppies (Hydrocleys Nymphoides) - Easy Live Pond Plants - Planterest - Nymphaea King Blue Hardy Water Lily Rhizome Live Aquarium Plant BUY2GET1FREE … --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/121094076-live-water-lilies-rhizomes-tubers-pre-grown-hardy-lilies-in](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/121094076-live-water-lilies-rhizomes-tubers-pre-grown-hardy-lilies-in) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-09*
