📦 Seasonal Shipping Information for Tropical Water Lilies

Tropical waterlilies are usually ready a few weeks later than hardy pond plants. They typically ship May through August/September when warm water ensures healthy establishment.

• If your order includes a tropical waterlily, the entire order will be held until the tropical is available.

• To receive other pond plants sooner, please place two separate orders.

• In northern regions, tropicals are generally ready right when it’s safe to ship pond plants to your area.

💡 PondMegastore Tip: Plant L’Amore in shallow water at first, then gradually lower it deeper once established. This encourages quicker flowering and stronger growth.
