Overview

Vivid, carmine-red, cup-shaped flowers up to 12cm (5in) across with orange-red centres from June to September among a carpet of overlapping, bronze-green leaves. This versatile water lily will happily grow in sun or partial shade. Best planted at a depth of 45-75cm, it's an excellent choice for a medium-sized pond.

Care guide

Water lilies flourish in still water, so do not plant them near a pond pump or fountain, particularly where the water can splash onto their leaves. All our waterlilies are approximately 2 - 3 years old and they are potted up (using a suitable aquatic compost) into 3-litre aquatic pots. These pots are made of a fine mesh, which allows water to circulate through the compost, providing the plants with both oxygen and nutrients. As they are already potted, all you need to do is to place the pot into a pond. Initially the pot should be placed on a stack of bricks so the leaves float on the surface of the water. As the plant matures, remove one layer of bricks at a time, gradually lowering the plant deeper into the pond until the desired depth has been reached.
