Nymphaea ‘René Gérard’ is a beautiful hardy water lily that produces striking deep pink flowers with warm yellow centres, creating a vibrant display on the surface of the pond. The elegant blooms appear from late spring through to early autumn, providing long-lasting colour throughout the pond season.
The attractive floating lily pads spread across the water surface, offering natural shade which helps reduce sunlight penetration and can assist in limiting algae growth. The pads also provide valuable cover and resting areas for fish and other pond wildlife.
Supplied in a 4 litre aquatic planting basket, this established water lily is well suited to medium-sized ponds, where it will gradually spread to create an impressive feature across the water surface.
Water lilies are a key part of a balanced pond ecosystem, adding colour, surface coverage, and natural beauty to ornamental water gardens.
