Description
Nymphaea ‘Alba’, commonly known as the White Water Lily, is a classic and elegant pond plant producing beautiful large white flowers with golden yellow centres that float gracefully on the surface of the water. The blooms appear from late spring through to early autumn, opening during the day and creating a striking focal point on the pond.
The attractive broad floating lily pads provide natural shade across the pond surface, helping to reduce sunlight penetration and limit algae growth while also creating shelter for fish and aquatic wildlife.
Supplied in a 4 litre aquatic planting basket, this established water lily is ideal for medium to larger ponds where it can spread naturally and provide excellent surface coverage.
Water lilies are an essential feature of ornamental ponds, bringing colour, structure, and ecological balance to the water garden.
Planting depth: 40–90cm from the top of the basket to the water surface

A timeless and reliable pond plant that brings elegant white flowers and natural shade to ponds and water gardens throughout the summer.
