Lincolnshire Pond Plants Ltd - Firecrest Water Lily - Live Water Plant Aquatic Pond Lake Marginal - Loose

I bought 1 lily for my garden pond. It arrived quickly. It came as a set, with basket, soil and pebbles. The plant itself was just a black soily lump and to be honest I didn't have much hope. But I planted it in the basket, in the spring. One by one leaves popped up through the water and this week a flower has bloomed! The whole plant is beautiful in my pond and if my pond was bigger, I would buy more!

Well it's been about a month now and it is shooting some sprouts out but I'm not overly convinced it will be showing off this summer. I wouldn't even be able to tell you whether I've got the right one until it remotely looks like that in the picture but by then it'll be long too late. It has top rated aquatic compost and been planted in accordance with the helpful leaflet supplied so I can only hope for good things. Not sure whether the price is a bit too much to ask but it is what it is.Update: in the many months I've had this it has only ever sprouted a few leaves and then died off for the season and that's it. Planted in accordance with all lily buds and years of experience. If you want to buy pond plants don't use these and also just spend the day out and go and buy an established one from a reputable seller like World Of Water.

the waterlily was in reasonable condition to survive being put in a new pond

liked ease of buying on line. liked tray and soil etc. to set up lilly in the pond. waiting for lilly to get established, sun light and water in pond great for it.

Received with 2 good leaves and signs of more coming up, since I planted it up last week, it has brought the 2 leaves to the surface and also started growing a third leaf with more starting to emerge from the crown.When it came it appeared healthy and it was a good size in both the grown leaves and the root that looks like it may be trying to grow a second crown on the back end, but will take time to find that out.All in all healthy plant and seems to be growing well once placed in the pond.

Very expensive for such a tiny plant .I followed instructions and it started to grow then rotted

Waiting to plant with soil looking forward to seeing flower in future. Service from company brilliant arrives and packed good revive good

I have to say that I am very disappointed with my, so-called, water lily kit.The plant arrived with a few leaves broken off but it still had one or two fragile ones remaining plus a flower shoot. I planted it up following the instructions and put it into my wildlife pond. I also purchased some oxygenating plants from the seller which I put in the pond too as well as some into a separate recently filled rainwater container.Not long after this, I noticed that the remaining leaves of the lily were being eaten by swarms of little white pond creatures/bugs and my other plants in the pond were being attacked too. In the separate water container, the bugs were swarming too.So, I am very disappointed that, not only have I wasted money on a dead lily, but also I have inherited a multitude of white bugs which are damaging the rest of my pond.
