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

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 amazon'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.

Not at all worth the risk of purchasing a dead tuber. The tuber that arrived smelled absolutely foul and appeared incredibly unhealthy. It was dark brown, mushy, slimy and no sprouts.

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.

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.

Was dead, thought I could revive it. Nope, it was practically rotten. The seed was very soft, and the leaves were mush when arrived. So far this is the only one I ordered that turned out bad. I'm hoping it's a fluke.

My tuber did not look anything like the picture. It was a black ball with no growth. I was optimistic though, and planted exactly as I should have. Nothing. It only rotted away into a slimier black blob. Edit: I am updating. Seller sent me a new tuber. It arrived just like the picture, with growth on it. I planted it yesterday, and by today, within 24 hours, it is already growing! When it arrived, it had 2 small sprouts and what looked like a shriveled up baby lily pad. Today, there is definately a small lily pad growing, 2 new shoots and the 2 previous shoots are bigger! I can't wait to watch it grow. Would but again, and the seller is awesome!

I ordered 2 lily's from this company. One was red, the other purple. When they arrived, the one was pure mush. the other one is soft. Immediately planted it. Nothing has been happening and it may be dead too. Trying to contact company, but have not heard back from them. 6/16/26Made contact with company. They reimbursed me for the dead and mushy tuber. The other one may be starting to show a bit of green growth

Beautiful lilies for our pond! We had mix-up with 1st order & customer service was top notch as they helped us resolve & re-sent 2nd order free of charge with some extra lilies as well. Highly recommend doing business with this company. Will probably be a return customer if/when we need more!
