Green foliage gives the dark blooms a natural backdrop, helping them stand out across the water through summer. Suited to pond owners after a strong colour point that is harder to come across than the usual red varieties.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNymphaea 'Black Princess' is a hardy water lily known for flowers so deeply red they read as almost black, a colouring that is unusual among water lilies and one reason this variety is not always easy to track down. It suits pond owners who want a strong, dark focal colour rather than the paler pinks and whites typical of many lily plantings, and the green foliage gives those flowers a natural backdrop that helps them stand out through the season.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat you get: one Nymphaea 'Black Princess' plant, supplied in a 3 litre mesh planting basket. The basket can go straight into the pond without being removed, so there is no need to repot before placing it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt grows at a manageable pace rather than spreading aggressively, and flowers over several months each year, so the colour does not just show for a week or two before fading.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDetail\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSun\/Shade\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFull sun\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFlowers\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eJun to Sep\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eColour\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRed\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGrowth rate\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMedium\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCare instructions\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePlant in still water away from splashing fountains.
