Brandy Bottle Yellow Water Lily | Nuphar lutea

    Description

    Brandy Bottle Yellow Water Lily, Nuphar lutea, is a bold native deep-water plant that brings strong presence to ponds, lakes and natural-style water features. Its rich yellow flowers appear through summer and are known for their distinctive slightly brandy-like scent, which gives the plant its common name.

    This is a vigorous, fast-growing water lily, so it is especially well suited to larger ponds or situations where you want reliable surface cover to establish well. That foliage cover helps soften the look of open water, adds depth and character to the pond, and contributes to a more natural, balanced feel.

    Brandy Bottle Yellow Water Lily is also a flexible choice for more varied pond settings. It can be grown in still water, but also copes with flowing conditions such as streams and rills when planted securely. For customers looking for a robust native plant with strong summer interest and a wilder, more natural look, this is an excellent option.

        Growing Instructions

        Plant Brandy Bottle Yellow Water Lily in deeper water where the crown will sit 50 to 100 cm below the surface. It is best suited to larger ponds and natural-style water where it has room to establish and spread well. Grow in full sun to part shade for best overall performance.

        This plant can also be used in streams and rills, provided it is planted securely and allowed to establish properly.

        Care Instructions

        This is a vigorous plant, so choose a position where it has space to develop without crowding weaker neighbours. In flowing water, make sure it is well anchored, as water movement can affect how the leaves sit on the surface.

        Once established, Brandy Bottle Yellow Water Lily is a reliable and characterful choice for deeper water planting, with strong summer performance and a natural, robust habit.

        Growers Tips
        • Best used where you want a pond to feel fuller, softer and more natural rather than neat or formal.
        • Because it is fast growing, this is a particularly useful plant for larger ponds where smaller water lilies can look lost.
        • In moving water, expect the foliage to behave a little differently, with leaves sometimes sitting lower in the water than they would in a still pond.

        Ordering & delivery


        Some products are ready for immediate dispatch, while others are sold for a later delivery period so that they can reach you in good condition and at the right point in the growing season.

        The expected delivery period for the product or variant you choose will be shown below the Add to basket button and again in the basket and checkout.

        30 litre plants and some larger items are sent by specialist pallet delivery rather than standard parcel.

        If your order contains products with different delivery timings, it may be split into more than one shipment. Plants or products that are ready for immediate dispatch will normally be sent first, while later-season plants will be sent when they are ready. This helps us send live plants at the appropriate point in the season and in suitable condition to travel.

        For full details, please see our Shipping Policy.
