Nymphaea "Alba" Water Lily (Full Grown Plant!)

This listing: 1 Nymphaea Alba Water Lily

Description: This water lily comes either as a bulb, or as a full grown plant with floating leaves, ready to plant an bloom. Alba is a vigorous aquatic plant with rounded leaves to 30cm across, and cup-shaped white flowers 20cm wide, with prominent yellow stamens, becoming star-shaped with maturity

Exotic yet tough, Water Lily Alba will help supply oxygen to the water while assisting in minimizing algae blooms. The Bulb version comes pre-planted in a weighted net bag to protect the tuber from being eaten by fish. Water Lily Alba is winter hardy, and once placed in the pond it will survive harsh winters as long as the tuber remains below the ice level of the pond. Dormancy will end when the water warms, and you will have new growth and flowers the next summer and every year after!

• Quarantine: Live plants need to be quarantined before introducing to a closed system such as an aquarium or water feature. Unwanted pests and hitchhikers such as snails, larvae, eggs, are common and to be expected, unless the plant is grown in-vitro aka tissue culture/lab grown. A 1:20 ratio bleach to water dip is generally recommended for most plants; so if you want to be sure your plant is 100% sterilized against unwanted pests or algae, please perform a bleach dip, and definitely always wash and rinse plants before introducing them to any new environment. Direct Message us if you need help doing this.
