Waterlily 'Attraction', Water Lily 'Attraction', Hardy Nymphaea
Nymphaea ‘Attraction’ (Water Lily) is a day-blooming aquatic perennial boasting oval-shaped light bronze leaves when young, up to 10-12 in. wide (25-30 cm), maturing to deep green. Floating on the surface of the water, they create a lovely backdrop for the large cup- to star-shaped flowers. Each slightly fragrant blossom, up to 6-8 in. across (15-20 cm), features deep rose-red inner petals and paler outer petals. They surround a conspicuous bouquet of yellow stamens. Each flower lasts several days, opening in the morning and closing in the evening. Blooming from early summer to early fall, Attraction is free-flowering and produces many flowers over a long season. It makes a good cut flower and tolerates the summer heat better than most red water lilies. This hardy nymphaea is recommended for medium to large ponds.
