Introducing the Deep Plum Nymphaea, a captivating water lily that features rich plum-colored flowers, perfect for enhancing the beauty of your pond. This aquatic plant thrives best when placed at the bottom of your pond or on deep planting shelves, allowing its stunning leaves to gracefully reach the surface.
Water lilies not only add aesthetic appeal but also provide a serene habitat for aquatic life. Ensure you place this plant in a sunny spot, away from splashing water features, and give its roots ample space to grow.

The Nymphaea Almost Black water lily is one of the darkest red water lilies, with foliage that starts off with a striking bronze hue and matures to a deep green. Its elegant blooms float effortlessly on the water’s surface during the summer months.
Helpful Tips: Plant in still water and gradually lower the lily to allow its leaves to reach the surface. Regularly remove dead leaves and flowers to promote healthy growth. For optimal results, pot 1-litre lilies in a 3-litre mesh basket; larger lilies can remain in their pots for many years without needing repotting.
