Waterlily 'Perry's Baby Red', Water Lily 'Perry's Baby Red', Hardy Nymphaea
Nymphaea ‘Perry’s Baby Red’ (Water Lily) is a day-blooming aquatic perennial boasting medium to dark green leaves, up to 4-6 in. wide (10-15 cm). Floating on the surface of the water, they create a lovely backdrop for the cup-shaped, deep red flowers. Each slightly fragrant blossom, up to 3-3.5 in. across (7-9 cm), features several rows of brilliant red petals (24-31) surrounding a conspicuous bouquet of golden stamens. Very free-flowering, Perry’s Baby Red is an excellent bloomer. Blooming from early summer to early fall, this hardy nymphaea is good for small to medium ponds or container gardens.
