Waterlily 'Mrs Richmond', Water Lily 'Mrs Richmond', Hardy Nymphaea
Nymphaea ‘Mrs Richmond’ (Water Lily) is a day-blooming aquatic perennial boasting a lush foliage of rounded green leaves. Floating on the surface of the water, they create a lovely backdrop for the semi-double, soft pink flowers. Each globe-shaped blossom features several rows of pale rose petals, darkening to a deep satin pink with age, and surrounding a conspicuous bouquet of yellow stamens. Each flower lasts several days, opening in the morning and closing in the late afternoon. Blooming from early summer to early fall, Mrs Richmond is free-flowering and produces many flowers over a long season. This hardy nymphaea is recommended for medium to large ponds.
