Plant tubers in aquatic soil within a planting container and place them at the appropriate depth. As the plant establishes, leaves will reach the surface and begin forming coverage across the water.
Will I receive three different colors?
Each pack is selected to provide variety, but exact colors may vary depending on current availability.
Can I request specific varieties?
This pack is pre-assorted, so we are not able to accommodate specific variety requests.
Are these hardy or tropical lilies?

How long does it take for them to grow?
Growth typically begins within a few weeks under proper conditions, with leaves reaching the surface shortly after establishment.
Do I need soil to plant them?
Yes, aquatic planting soil is recommended for best results.
Can I use these in containers instead of ponds?

Will they come already sprouted?
Tubers may or may not show initial growth upon arrival, but they are ready to plant.
How much space do they need?
Each lily will spread over time, so spacing them out will help maximize coverage.
Do they help with algae?
Yes, their leaves provide shade, which helps reduce excess algae growth.
When is the best time to plant them?
Spring and early summer are ideal, but they can be planted anytime during the warm growing season.

Shipping Schedule for this service
Current Handling Time:
1-9 business days
Here at Aquatic Arts, we consider the welfare of the live animals we are shipping to be of the foremost importance. This process is much more involved than simply creating a shipping label and affixing it to a box. Depending on the order, it takes from 4 to 7 people to complete this process properly. We check the weather conditions here where they fly out of the Indianapolis UPS facility and the destination for each shipment. We start early each morning and go through a multi-step process to have the day's shipments prepared in time for the UPS pickup. The volume of orders in our system also affects the processing time. Therefore our stated handling time is 1-9 business days.
Shipping Rate
Pricing is by size of package needed to fill entire order and distance it must travel. It will be calculated at checkout.
