Nymphaea Marliacea Rosea is an excellent choice, especially for large ponds. Its large leaves quickly cover several square meters of water surface. The pale pink flowers, often over 20 cm in diameter, open early and close late. It blooms intensely.
Features
* Flower color: pale pink
* Flowers: 16 cm, pleasantly fragrant
* Leaves: 16–20 cm, green
* Plant spread: 2 – 3 m2
* Water depth: 50 – 150 cm
* Nymphaea Marliacea Rosea prefers a sunny growing spot (at least 5–6 hours of light daily). It blooms from June to September and is well-suited for small ponds or tubs. Removing deadhead blooms and yellowed leaves helps keep the water cleaner.
Planting
Water lilies prefer rich, clay-like soil; sandy bottoms are not suitable for them. In a natural pond, they can be planted directly into the mud at a depth of at least 50 cm, where the bottom does not freeze in winter. If the pond freezes completely during the winter, the water lily should be removed in autumn along with the planting basket and placed in an appropriate wintering location. A dark cellar with low temperature is ideal. The plant should be placed in a water-filled container, its leaves removed, and regularly checked throughout the winter to ensure it has enough water, adding more as needed.
