DWARF YELLOW WATER LILY
Nymphaea Pumila
Nuphar pumila, the least water-lily or small yellow pond-lily, is an aquatic perennial plant in the Nymphaeaceae family. It is also known as dwarf water lily because it is the dwarf species of Nuphar lutea.
The plant is most successful in sunny environments, ponds and slow-flowing parts of rivers from Northern and Central Europe to Northern Asia, with a few noted habitats in North America; Nuphar pumila is considered endangered in France, Switzerland and the United Kingdom.
Name: Dwarf Yellow Water Lily
Hardiness Zone: 3-9
Type: Water plant
Water depth: 10" to 24"
Location: Sun or part sun
Seed size: Water lily seeds are small, unlike water 'lotus' seeds which are large. Keep reading for descriptions of both.
Did you know? Water Lillies (botanical name nymphaea) are quite different than water Water Lotus (botanical name nelumbo). Water lily plants are fully submerged plants, with the roots (and/or pot) being 1-4 feet under the water surface, and flowers and leaves are usually floating on, or just above, the surface of the water. Water Lily seeds are small. In contrast, the Water Lotus is a bog plant, meaning that the roots are in very wet soil, or are just barely submerged in a few inches of water. Lotus flowers are held several feet above the ground level, and plants are several feet tall. The flowers are also quite different, with a large, flat disc in the center of the flower. Water Lotus seeds are very large.
We have provided these descriptions as there is often confusion between the two plants, and to help you find what YOU are looking for, to suit your needs and location!
Multiple packs can be ordered by adjusting the quantity above, or combine shipping with other seeds we offer! https://www.etsy.com/ca/shop/truesourceseeds?sort_order=date_desc
GERMINATION
Soak seeds in water for 24 hours, then drain the most of the water and place the wet seeds in a zipper-seal bag. Leave a minimal amount of water in the bag to help keep the seeds wet. Label, and place the bag in the refrigerator for 8 weeks. After the cold period, plant the seeds in a pot, so that the seeds are just barely below the surface of the soil. Submerge the pot so that there is about 1-2" of water above the soil level. Place the submerged container at room temperature for them to germinate, and keep in a sunny location. Once the plants germinate, they water level can gradually be increased so that the plants are submerged to the bottom of your pond.

UNITED STATES SHIPPING
Ferri Seeds ships to the USA! We ship there regularly and are familiar with how to get your seeds over the border safely to you. Unfortunately we cannot sell seeds to USA through the Etsy platform. Etsy rules don't allow anyone outside of the USA, to sell seeds to the USA. This is an Etsy rule only. We do ship to USA, just not through Etsy. All of us here at Ferri Seeds are very sorry for the inconvenience.
INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING
Sorry we do not ship internationally on any of our sites.
LIMITED SUPPLY
Shop early for best selection! Due to inventory shortages, and increased demand worldwide, once sold out, we will no longer have stock for this growing season.
IMPORTANT
Your seeds are best planted right away. If you are not able to, they are best stored in a plastic zipper bag and placed in a dry cold location or refrigerator until you are ready to plant them. Be sure they are clearly labelled.
Do not eat the seeds or any part of the plants that they produce. Due to the fact that about 80% of all plant species are not edible (contain toxins/poisons of some kind) these are likely to be poisonous. Ornamental use only.
