Waterlily 'Gloriosa', Water Lily 'Gloriosa', Hardy Nymphaea
Nymphaea ‘Gloriosa’ (Water Lily) is a day-blooming aquatic perennial boasting rounded green leaves, up to 8-9 in. wide (20-22 cm), blotched with purple when young. Floating on the surface of the water, they create a lovely backdrop for the cup-shaped to stellate-shaped, bright red flowers. Each pleasantly fragrant blossom, up to 5 in. across (12 cm), features several rows of lightly flecked bright red petals (27-30) surrounding a conspicuous bouquet of glowing golden stamens. Very free-flowering, Gloriosa is an excellent bloomer and can tolerate some shade. Blooming from early summer to early fall, this hardy nymphaea is good for small to medium ponds or water gardens. Gloriosa is subject to crown rot.
