water lilies

water lilies are not only visually appealing, but they also help balance your pond's ecosystem. They reduce algae growth by absorbing nutrients and providing shade, which stabilizes the water temperature. In addition, water lilies provides a natural habitat for various aquatic animals such as fish, frogs and insects.

No, water lilies requires relatively little maintenance. However, it is important to remove dead or damaged leaves and flowers regularly. At Van der Velde aquatic plants , you will receive detailed care instructions with your purchase, and our water lilies grown are designed to be robust and healthy.

Ideally, water lilies should be planted in the spring, mainly in May or June. However, our water lilies are hardy and can be planted year-round, so you can enjoy their beauty every season.

dwarf water lilies are perfect for smaller ponds, while larger species are more suitable for deeper and wider waters. We generally recommend 1 water lily per 0.5 to 3 m³ of water for balanced growth.

Most of our water lilies can be planted at a depth of up to 100 cm. If your pond is deeper then you can choose to create an elevation in the pond using pond crates.

With 3 crates you create an elevation of 40 cm, in the top crate you can put up to 6 baskets with water lilies .

Note: The deeper water lilies are placed, the longer they will take to grow because they are colder and receive less sunlight. Do not plant water lilies deeper than 1 meter, as you can drown a water lily.
