Description
Nymphaea ‘Froebeli’ is a popular dwarf hardy water lily that produces vibrant rich red to deep pink flowers with bright yellow centres. The colourful blooms float neatly on the pond surface and appear from late spring through to early autumn, bringing strong colour to smaller ponds and water features.
This compact variety forms attractive small floating lily pads that provide natural shade across the water surface, helping to reduce sunlight penetration and limit algae growth. The pads also offer shelter and resting areas for fish and other pond wildlife.
Supplied in a 2 litre aquatic planting basket, Nymphaea ‘Froebeli’ is ideal for small ponds, patio ponds, and container water features, where its controlled spread allows it to create a balanced and attractive display.
Water lilies are an important part of a healthy pond ecosystem, providing surface coverage, shade, and seasonal colour to the water garden.
Planting depth: 20–40cm from the top of the basket to the water surface
