The large, deep rose-red blooms of this very popular, free-flowering lily are flecked with white. The blooms on the Nymphaea Attraction are sometimes whitish pink until the plant is well established.

As with all water lilies the Nymphaea Attraction should be planted 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.

Pond water lilies are the jewels of the garden pond, dazzling the eye with their vibrant colours and exquisite shapes. Most lilies bloom from June to September, creating a spectacular display of natural beauty. But water lilies are not just ornamental plants, they also have a vital role in maintaining a healthy pond ecosystem. By shading the pond surface with their broad leaves, they prevent excessive evaporation and keep the water temperature cool during the hot summer months. They also help absorb excess nutrients in the water such as nitrogen and phosphorus, that can fuel the growth of algae and turn the water green. Water lilies also provide shelter and shade for pond fish, protecting them from predators and harsh sunlight. Water lilies are the perfect plants for your garden pond, as they combine beauty and functionality in a harmonious way.
