Nymphaea Tan Kwhan is a lush-growing and highly striking water lily. Its large double blooms are uniformly deep pink and flower abundantly throughout the summer. The plant suits for decorating larger ponds.
Features
* Flower color: uniformly deep pink
* Flowers: large double blooms; abundant flowering
* Leaves: green
* Water depth: 50 – 100 cm
* Plant spread: 1.5 – 2 m²
* Nymphaea Tan Kwhan 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.
