Description
Nymphaea ‘Carnea’ is a beautiful hardy water lily that produces elegant soft pink flowers with warm yellow centres that float gracefully on the surface of the pond. The blooms appear from late spring through to early autumn, bringing gentle colour and interest to the water garden throughout the summer months.
The attractive broad floating lily pads spread across the water surface, helping to provide natural shade which can reduce sunlight penetration and limit algae growth. The pads also create shelter for fish and other pond wildlife.
Supplied in a 4 litre aquatic planting basket, this established water lily is well suited to medium and larger ponds, where it can develop into a generous spread and become a striking feature on the pond surface.
Water lilies are an essential addition to ornamental ponds, adding colour, structure, and helping to create a more balanced aquatic environment.
Planting depth: 40–90cm from the top of the basket to the water surface

A reliable and elegant pond plant that brings soft pink blooms and natural surface coverage to ponds and water gardens throughout the season.
