Care Guide

Good pest and disease resistance

No known issues with pests or diseases. MORE

Plant in water

Needs a permanently wet soil.

Full sun

Position in a pond where the plants will receive at least 6-8 hours of sunlight daily in spring/summer.

Wet, poorly drained soil

Plant in a pond with poorly drained soil. Clay or loam is best.

Feeding may be needed

No feeding is needed if you plant your nymphaea straight into a mature pond with a good layer of sediment, but in newer ponds it's a good idea to feed in the spring, using a slow release tablet fertiliser to make sure that excess nutrients do not leak into the pond and encourage algae. ?v=1613300718
