A pink waterlily grown for its unusually full blooms, with each flower carrying up to 100 petals, and for leaves large enough to give good surface cover on a pond. It suits ponds that get plenty of direct light and sit away from moving water, giving a long run of colour through the warmer months. Supplied as a young, 3 litre potted plant that can go straight into the pond.
Nymphaea 'Gloire de Temple Sur Lot' is a pink waterlily often regarded as one of Marliac's finest hybrids, with blooms that can open to more than 100 petals apiece, more than you'd expect from a typical pond lily. It helps give a garden pond a long stretch of colour and works well as a feature plant where the water is open and well lit.
Both the flowers and the leaves grow large, helping the plant cover a good area of surface water as it matures. It doesn't grow at a fast pace, so it stays easier to manage in a garden pond than you might expect from such a showy variety.
It needs a sunny, open spot in the pond, kept away from fountains or other moving water, since splashing can affect the leaves and flowers. When planting, lower it into position gradually so the leaves have time to reach the surface over the first few days, and remove any dead leaves or spent flowers through the season to keep it tidy.
The plant is supplied as a 3 litre pot. At this size it doesn't need repotting straight away, though moving it into a larger basket later on gives the roots more room as it establishes. If you're buying outside the main season, be aware the plant may be supplied cut back rather than in full leaf.
