Nymphaea 'Colorado' Water Lily

An excellent selection for medium and large ponds, this choice water lily is prized for its cactus-shaped, salmon-pink flowers. They stand elegantly above the water and continue to flower a full month after most lilies have stopped.

Plant in still water away from splashing fountains. Lower gradually so the leaves can stretch to the surface within a few days. Remove dead leaves and flowers during the growing season.

Plant in full sun between 50cm and 100cm deep.

• Flowering period: June to September
• Mature spread: 70cm to 100cm
