Is it safe to transplant Water Lilies from a Garden Pond when they are in bloom.?

My Stepfather has offered me some Water Lilies from his garden pond so that I can transplant them into a lake we have recently taken on as a fishing business. I am worried that the Lilies are in full bloom and wondered if now is a good time to move them, or if not when the ideal time would be. Having checked the Internet it doesn%26#039;t seem to make the time of year very clear.

they won%26#039;t like being moved and will probably lose the current blooms but the only good time would be winter which wouldn%26#039;t be good for you


anyway, after you dig them up wrap them in wet newspaper and try to keep them real moist until they are re=planted

Reply:How lovely. Water lilies are so beautiful.





Lovely to have a lake too!! But I%26#039;m not sure that Water lilies would take to a lake whatever the time of year.





Anyway - wishing you luck with them.
Reply:You aren%26#039;t supposed to transplant from an ornamental pond to a lake. Here%26#039;s a link to DEFRA, who%26#039;ve taken over from the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Foods.
