Hardiness: fully hardy
From summer through to autumn, stunning, fragrant, white, goblet-shaped flowers appear with bright yellow stamens and young bronzed leaves that turn pea-green with age. This large water lily is best grown at a planting depth of 75-120cm (30-48in). It needs plenty of space, so makes an excellent choice for a lake or large, deep, wildlife pond, where the dark green leaves create a shady underwater habitat for native fish and amphibians. The shade cast by the foliage also helps to check the spread of algae.
