This fully mature yellow water lily is a classic pond plant that adds a cheerful, sunny accent to any water garden. Its bright yellow blooms sit beautifully against the large, round floating leaves, which provide essential shade for the pond, keeping the water cool and reducing algae growth. Supplied as a large, established plant, it is ready to flower from its first season in your pond. Plant in a wide, shallow basket with aquatic compost at a depth of 30 to 60cm for best results. Yellow water lilies are among the most rewarding and low-maintenance plants you can grow in a pond.
