Water lilies with a typical mature spread of over 120cm, suited to larger and deeper ponds.

Large water lilies create substantial surface coverage and bold floral displays, making them appropriate for ponds with the space to accommodate their mature spread. In favourable conditions, many varieties in this group will exceed 120cm across, with some approaching 150cm or more.

They typically require deeper planting, often thriving with approximately 60–120cm of water above the soil surface (measured from soil level to water surface). This additional depth supports their vigour and helps maintain proportion within larger ponds.

Due to their growth potential, it is particularly important to review the individual spread and planting depth guidance provided on each product page before positioning your basket.
