Lincolnshire Pond Plants LtdPerrys Almost Black Water Lily - Live Water Plant Aquatic Pond Lake Marginal - Loose

Arrived on time. The plant was well packaged and comes with basket, soil and stones. Instructions are clear and helpful. Took a few minutes to put put it together and place in my small pond. Obviously no flowers yet but the plant was not too distressed and appears to ve happy. Definately worth it.

Great for the fish pond

I like that the lily came with all the essentials for planting and clear instructions. The price is reasonable too. The disappointing bit was the size of rhizome and the state of the crown. I'm giving it a benefit of doubt as it is still early season and it might surprise. I expected it to be bigger and more established similar to the pictures. I will try to give updates on it in future. Fingers crossed

A lovely package for growing lily! Put in without any problems following clear instruction. Only point I want to make is that I wish the seller could add 1/4 more small shingles to keep the soil from floating.The reason I did not post review earlier is because I want see if it survives. It appeared above the water today with two small leaves! Looks very healthy.I grow it in a 17 cm deep and 80 diameter round water bowl.Happy about it! :)

The plant I received was minuscule and not as per images or as advertised.The pack also didn’t have clear planting instructions and responses to requests were worded bluntly and needed further clarification (several emails were sent).If you are looking for a plant with pre-existing leaves and stems (as advertised) that will reach the top of your pond then this is not the product for you.If you are looking for an established plant with a bud then this is not for you.So much effort was put into preparing my pond and this product was just disappointing.Not a happy experience at all.P.s I did not want to give any stars in the rating but Amazon review would not publish without a star - which this product does not deserve.

This Lily arrived well packed, it is a v small plant, but looking a prices over internet it is what I expected. It comes with a suitable aqua plant pot plus compost and stones. So everything you need is supplied including instructions.Obviously I do not expect flowers this year but I can see that it has grown. Looking forward in seeing the first flower.

Arrived when it said it would (quite quickly after order) well packaged healthy plant and rhizome, complete with good sized ventilated pot and pond friendly soil with plenty of growing room for young plant. Pack of clean gravel to overlay soil to reduce loss to water. Several leaf stems all in good condition and healthy.Clear instructions on how to plant. Leaves have already reached the surface of the pond, and looking forward to the arrival of the flower.

I have not reviewed this item until now because I wanted to see if it survived and how good it looked once it had become semi established.Well the lily was planted into the pond in the basket container and soil it arrived with, I added nothing extra to it. It went in mid March and sat dormant until temperatures started to rise. I was then pleased to see that the lily was growing and putting up lily pads to the pond surface. Back at the end of May I notice lily buds appearing and have waited patiently for them to reach the surface.They have this week, end of June, started to open, but to my great disappointment they are not the colour shown in the listing ☹️I was hoping for a dark rich coloured flower but they are rather pale pink.Otherwise though the plant has survived and flowered, so that I cannot fault, just a shame they were not the colour I’d hoped for.
